Not the story you’re telling

Your story can change the lives of adult grandchildren. But not the story you’re telling. And not the way you’re telling it.

Soul-wrenching

Each one’s story touches the universal. Microcosm is macrocosm. We owe the grandchildren of humanity our most soul-wrenching story. Just one. This one.

Covid starvation?

In these covid times
aren’t we starved

Even in non-covid times
aren’t we ever?

What’ll get in the way?

What’ll get in the way of the grandchildren following the right path? Conformity, authority? Like the Ordinary Men of Hitler’s death squads? Maybe less dramatic things like ennui.

Footprints in the Windsm # 1962–Streaming of the ages

Footprints in the Windsm # 1962

A role of elders is to place us in the streaming of the ages. The stream of otherwise. Of possibility. Of times discontinuous with the present.

Riding the feral story

There is a danger of beating the horse to death before it can run free. The possibility is that we open wide the range in which it can run. Where are the places we might meet our story and set it running?

Rather than storycatching, we want story releasing! Riding the Feral Story. Riding the Savage Story.

Feral suggests escape from domestication, which is pretty close to what we want to say: we are taking a story that we have domesticated into our lives and turning it back free.

:- Doug.
