stories
Sharing stories is of the essence.
A story worthy of telling and re-telling, is a story that reveals — rather than conceals — the whole. A story that heals rather than harms. The kind of story that, if true to this world, continues to connect and resonate.
Such stories are a kind of map or mandala. A mandala of character, time, place and journey. A four-dimensional map, with each element implicating — reflecting, shaping and responding to — the others.
Told and re-told, such a story comes alive, taking on a life of its own, and takes on a journey through a world of many stories — a mandala within a universe of mandalas — living stories unfolding in a web of seen and unseen connections, causes and conditions, known and unknown.
Stories within stories, layer upon layer. Doors within, doors without.

There are many muses, waiting behind each door.
Seen as a mandala, map or model, a story — like a muse — is a guide. A guide to finding one’s path, and fulfilling one’s purpose. In time, your own story becomes a guide, a map, a model, a muse, for others.
To share a story, is to serve many muses.
