Life / Work Portfolio "Life/work" portfolio expresses my philosophy of "career". A career is all of the productive and creative activity a person does throughout life (whether paid or unpaid). In this sense, life, work, and the person become a seamless, integrated whole. Too often career is thought of only as one's "job", a money-making activity done in isolation from the rest of one's life. When this happens, people tend to leave part of themselves at home while they are at work. They become a cog in the machine. Only that piece of self is allowed to be present that is necessary for the task. I have a difficult time splitting myself like this. I prefer to be authentic, integrated, and fully present in every aspect of my life; whether family, spiritual, work, or leisure. Virtual Portfolio The purpose of this portfolio is to provide a virtual panoramic view of my life & work. The word "virtual" is used in the sense of a "virtual image": virtual image (ver`chˇ-el im’ej) noun: An image that is stored in computer memory but is too large to be shown in its entirety on the screen. Scrolling and panning are used to bring unseen portions of the image into view. (The Microsoft Bookshelf Computer and Internet Dictionary; 1998) This portfolio is designed to be a tool for my own reflection and development through scrolling, panning, and scanning the panorama of my life and work. For whatever purpose you have chosen to view this panorama, it is meant to provide a sweeping overview as well as a view of the particulars. Shalom
