We take the work into Night School. The Personal Star Poems (PSP) are meant to facilitate a conversation between me and Elder Me. At the end of the day I ask of Elder Me: “Guide me to the most helpful entry-points of my Star Poem”. I read my Star Poem aloud speaking all the syllables, enunciating the consonants, out loud. I am communicating with the teachers in Night School that my Star Poem is a curriculum I wish to investigate this night. I am asking, “What feeling do I have right now?” That’s a starting place–the feeling, the tone of oneself.
“What comes across from my meeting with Elder Me during the Night School that just ended?” I look for Impressions, colors, pictures, sounds, words … inventions? I add discoveries to my mind-map from the previous day or make a new mind-map emphasizing colors and shapes. I continue making a giant collage.
I circle every place in my mind-map that is sacred to me. The word “sacred” here means “taking life or this part of life more seriously to be experienced.
