Special metaphor

So I was doodling away the other morning thinking about how the pieces of my life must surely fit together somehow into a cohesive vocational Thing. I drew some circles and joined them with lines to represent this. Then it occurred to me that this looked like a constellation. A constellation arises because someone looks up at the mess of bright lights in the sky and sees them differently, creatively, imaginatively. They look at dots and connect them into a pattern. This is what I have to do with my mess of bright lights. I still don't know what that constellation will be called but at least I have a metaphor to work with.
