Stories

 I 5think the shift I’m feeling is because I’m shifting from the story I’ve been telling about “the move from the farm into the city”  and the why and the how, to the reality of the felt experience   The stories that guide us are by definition a step removed, a metacognition of what’s happening. The stories enable seeing the Universal in the specific   But that remove doesn’t enable living in the skin of what’s happening.  

All good.  I’m a story teller and that’s what I hope to refine with this daily writing. But living in the sensory reality of the dirty floor or the ability to see my with my new technology is what’s going to let me evolve the little day to day details of actually functioning well in this space and noticing/appreciating it.    

I’m remembering dreams; I started listening to music on my new little speakers. It reminds me of landing in my little dorm room at UofC in 1967.  Scared, hungry for a new life.
