That poem, wow.

I often contemplate the functions of story in my life... when it serves to surface semi invisible 'truths,' when it supports me to make meaning of something if that is useful, and when it digs me into a deeper hole of reifying my ego story and thereby creates more suffering for me and possibly others. I find 'story' to be a fascinating vehicle, it can do all those things and more. Not staying awake to the stories I tell myself is a big trap. Conscious stories, though, can have healing properties....
