[ON TOPIC:]
This is related to my notion that narratives have a quality of containment about them. Not only can narrative contain meaning, but also maybe contain/capture the self/ego/psyche.lorin wrote:I am not making it clear. I know we all have our narratives. I don't deny mine (or devalue anyone else's story). What I am trying to say is there comes a point when I began to use my stories/narratives as a diversionary tactic. It becomes (for me) a reason not to deal with my here and now. I am new to this concept so I have difficulty explaining it. It is easy to hide in our pasts. My stories can easily become the sum of me and there would be no present me.

Our iteration of past deeds and desires and discoveries provides the only form of permanence to which mortal life can aspire. That such permanence is a chimera does not lessen its power to console. Joy is in the ears that hear.
