The Stories We Wish Were True

Listen.

There are consequences to the unconscious repetition of stories.  Regurgitated narratives harden into what we think is true.  This is the disease of seriousness.  It reproduces history we have already learned from.  Dreams and artistic manifestation require the integrity that is built on a foundation of innovation and trust.  How do we grow these?  We tell new stories.  We resurrect mythology.

Remember that joy and sacrifice are paramount to heroism.  Healing from a history of narcissism, war, trauma, and consumerism can be playful.  Maybe it has to be. 

Bringing wonder to conflict helps sustainably restructure harmful patterns.  Imagination transforms problems into gorgeous complexities.

Listen. 

There are fairy tales wound through the magnificence of our anatomy.  Listen to them.   Celebrate the sensual experience with presence and curiosity.  Eat good food.  Smell the air.  Say thank you to everything.  This builds strength, encourages the intrinsic ability to heal.  This is how we grow ourselves, how we unlock our superhero abilities. 

In doing so, the world around us transforms into the world we dream.  The stories we wish were true become our reality.

Listen.

Healing and learning are the same thing.  Play is medicine.  Storytelling is curriculum.
