In some sense man is a microcosm of the universe; therefore what man is, is a clue to the universe.*
David Bohm

A story isn’t about what happens in the world. A story is about what happens in the protagonist.**

Until we have a story for the amazing stuff outside of us and
within us, it’s unlikely these wonders will inhabit us in
a life-altering way,
And stories form around our emotional
engagement with whatever phenomenon we’re encountering, so it’s
worthwhile turning towards and noticing what’s happening
in our bodies as well as our heads.
