Transience turns everything to air. You look behind and see no signs even of a yesterday that was so intense. Yet in truth, nothing ever disappears, nothing is lost. Everything that happens to us in the world passes into us. It all becomes part of the inner temple of the soul and it can never be lost.*
John O’Donohue

The last time we took an action on an idea, extended ourselves for a friend, and perhaps encouraged ourselves for a new project – these happened because the story worked.**
Seth Godin

We are more substantial than we know,
Our lives filled with so much that will make us
stronger, more imaginative, creative, generous.

The thing that makes the difference between so much
being lost to us, and so to each other,
And instead to be
accessed and engaged with, is
our story.

I want to unfold.
I don’t want to stay folded anymore,
because where I am folded,
I am a lie.^
