For deeper reasons that any of us can ever know, of all the connections that run through the world, there are certain ones that touch us more strongly, that call us, that become golden threads that generate in us what James Hillman called notitia, the attentive noticing of the soul. And from that noticing, as Hillman describes it, comes “the capacity to form true notions of things.” The connections that touch us in this way are special. They are the ones meant for us for reasons only the Earth will ever know.
