My Lineage of Inspiration
</a>
</h1>
<time datetime="2019-03-29T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">29 Mar 2019</time>
<p>Im working on a career-development course right now, titled Work That
Matters. Its by Maia Duerr, and in this blog post, I am going to
make what Maia calls a Lineage of Inspiration.</p>
<p>Maia herself elaborates on her Lineage of Inspiration at the Internet-address
<a href="http://maiaduerr.com/lineage-and-liberation-2/">http://maiaduerr.com/lineage-and-liberation-2/</a>.</p>
<p>She writes:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>So as way of creating my own personal lineage chart, I want to name some of those people who made a huge impact on me and to whom I feel enormous gratitude. Im sharing this list as a way for you to get to know me better and its also an invitation for you to do the same. Its a huge gift to realize that our lineage is linked to our liberation. We dont have to do it alone. There is no way we possibly could do it on our own.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The following is the prompt I am working with, which I reproduce from the afore-mentioned
Internet address. Whos in your personal lineage? Who are the people who have guided you to more freedom in your life, and what gifts have you received from them?</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Masafumi Itokazu (“Matchi”)</strong>.
Matchi has <a href="https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/masafumi-matchi-itokazu?action=show&amp;controller=user_profiles">a profile on Couchsurfing.com</a>.
He was my room-mate in the autumn of the year 2013 A.D.,
at a dormitory on the campus of National Taiwan University, until he left
our shared room -
rather abruptly, I thought - some-time during the wet winter of the same year.
He was a sharp dresser, I think. Ive received the gift of encouragement,
unspoken or otherwise, to dress myself as boldly as I would like. A gift
of confidence, in other words - perhaps. Now I dress as I dare
(or so I would like to think).</li>
<li><strong>Chris Jensen</strong>.
Chris has <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherjamesjensen/">a profile on LinkedIn</a>.
Chris was my supervisor during my internship at his (now-defunct, I guess)
start-up Good For Us. At the point in time that I met him,
I was somewhat in the earlier part of what could be
conventionally called
College Education. I had little to no awareness of inner life or spiritual life,
I think, at that time. Chris did not seem afraid to mandate a practice
of recalling A Few Things That Youre Grateful For, during lunches together.
Chris also extended an invitation for me to visit him during
his work at the non-profit organisation <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groundupinitiative/">Ground-up Initative (G.U.I.)</a>.
Exposure to Nature that seemed a little less domesticated (at G.U.I.),
and the beginnings
of a practice of gratitude - Ive received these gifts.</li>
<li><strong>Emily Dickinson</strong>.
I read that she withdrew from society, famously becoming recluse-like,
and developed a kind of language of her own, which can, maybe, be seen in
her now-renown poems. Ive received encouragement to pursue a path into poetry,
regardless of how unconventional a life I may seem to lead.</li>
<li>A manager at my kitchen-workplace, by the name of <strong>Lily</strong> (transliterated name).
I met her while I was a part-time cook at a budget restaurant of sorts. (I still am, for now.)
She seemed sensitive enough to refill any sauces (or ingredients) that Ive
run out of, at a time when I was too busy or pre-occupied to refill those myself.
Ive received the gift of an example of service towards my co-workers, or perhaps
even humankind. I can strive to emulate her sensitivity to others, I think,
if nothing else.</li>
