Clothesline

Thurman Quote:  “We may be surprised to realize there is a clothesline on which all of our hopes, desires, and wishes hang…” 

Citation:  Creative Encounter, 32

Description: Thurman’s image of the clothesline articulates one component of his process of interpretation--namely, knowing oneself. He invites readers to consider their traditions, values, commitments, and formations as assets in the process of meaning-making and significance. They are also lines to what is actually most essential and what we may need to revisit and transform as we move into our future.

Reflect on: The clotheslines upon which the meaning and meaning effects of your interpretation hang.
