‘I have occasionally described my standpoint to my friends as the "narrow ridge,"’ writes Buber. ‘I wanted by this to express that I did not rest on the broad upland of a system that includes a series of sure statements about the absolute, but on a narrow rocky ridge between the gulfs where there is no sureness of expressible knowledge but the certainty of meeting what remains undisclosed.’ (Martin Buber, Between Man and Man, trans. by Ronald Gregor Smith [London: Kegan Paul, 1947] p.184).

"I am rich...not in money, but because I have found in my work something which I can devote myself to heart and soul, and which inspires me and gives meaning to life." - Vincent van Gogh, March 1883 .

"A map is the dead body of where you've been. A map is the unborn baby of where you're going.".... Maps are pictures of what isn't." - Russell Hoban (The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz. London, Picador, 1974 p.121).

Dear Mr. Wild,

It seems that you have come across my work. I am curious about the how's
by which you came across my work and how much of my work you have seen.

"Knowledge mapping " is a general term that covers:
+ mapping public issues ("social messes," "wicked problems" e.g., Robert
Horn)
+ mind maps (e.g., Inspiration software)
+ pattern languages (e.g., Christopher Alexander)
+ DialogueMapping (e.g., CogNexus Institute)
+ GraphicFacilitation (e.g., David Sibbet)
+ geographical information mapping (GIS - Geographical Information Systems)
and may include more traditional visuals such as :
+ quantitative charts and graphs
+ process and procedure flow charts
+ timelines
+ and all other forms of visual presentation of information, especially of
relationships (e.g. Edward Tufte) :

Several quotations found in siliconyogi.com but may have come from elsewhere?

I am curious as to what criteria you use to determine similarity.

followed by two more quotations that are contained within siliconyogi.com.
How did you come across them?

I hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Andreas,
I probably spent a few minutes looking at your mind-map-like imagery,but since it was over 2 months ago I honestly can't recall how I ended up there.
If you have an ongoing interest in Knowledge Mapping please get in touch with me again.
