We cannot change anything unless we accept it.*
Carl Jung
Narrative imagining – story – is the fundamental instrument of thought. Rational capacities depend upon it. It is out chief means of looking into the future, of predicting, of planning, and of explaining.**
Mark Turner
I do not like it,
But out there it
tortures at worst, and
taunts at best.
So I draw it close.
It appears surprised
by my openness and
inquiry, the offer of
an honest conversation.
The story is changing.
What was harassing
and hurtful at a distance,
Now pens a new plot with me–
lines of possibility.
