Logo Reflections

 

"Today I am seeing our logo as teaching me that the tree, or 'stemma' in latin, is simply what it says it is, a tree of Involvement in life, of my Involvement in life, and, as such, yes, Experience Teaches, but Stemma Docet (trees also teach)."

"The "I" as the trunk of the tree of reflection represents not only involvement, but intelligence as well, the expansion of intelligence to all of our reflective dimensions of consciousness, being, time and wholeness; and all of the Positions from which we experience the Many Ways of Human Knowing (Mental, Behavioral, Individual, and Collective) are involved. And the Human intelligences are not limited to the disciplined dialogue between language and thought as in critical thinking alone, but are inclusive of all of the dialogues within the self (that can also be raised to a dialogic of discipline):  between emotions and sensations, culture and context, reaction and proaction, the past and the future, and between knowing the part-whole and the whole-part of any element of life."
