Science describes energy as the ability to do stuff. Move stuff. Change stuff. Transform stuff.

Heat. Light. Motion. Gravity pulls down. Steam engines chug-chug forward. There is potential, or stored, energy. But also kinetic, or working, energy. Converted energy, too. Renewable and non-renewable; primary or secondary. Science has its fingers all over our energy explanations.

But how much do we actually know about the origins of the energy of life? Where’s the generator that started this whole she-bang? And what about black holes? When does string theory run out of… string? Explain it to me like I’m five...

Home is not a place. It’s a story. A feeling. A sense of arrival. A need met. A recognition. A resting. A safety. A knowing. A Mecca of the heart. A satisfaction of the soul.

To be honest, I’ve been trying to write about home ever since I got the assignment from an English professor in college. I tried and got a decent grade but it was crap… and all these years later, I’m still at a loss for words. But it’s important, especially at this point in our story. So… here goes. Again.

As a fiction writer, we must know what our characters want. As a non-fiction writer, we must know what our audience wants. As the master storyteller of our life, we must know what we want.

Let me be clear, the me of today wouldn’t ever suggest that organizing our life around our surface wants is a good idea. It’s a sales job, and a con job at that. Everything in our culture teaches us to want, primes us to want. Our biology gears up our wants, namely to procreate, but also to adventure into new territory in search of evolution, or sometimes just food. Our psyche tells us to want to stay socially safe, but also to differentiate, be unique, special...Enter YOUR labyrinth at: BeWhoYouAre.com

One of the first courses I taught was called The Second Half Of The Mountain. It alternated between lessons on daily life as it related to Shamanism, Taoism, and Alchemy. When one path failed to help, one of the others always could jump in. The premise was simple: Any path will take you halfway up the mountain. No path will take you up the second half. There are signposts - hence the class - but actual feet to the ground? That’s our journey to take...Enter YOUR labyrinth at: BeWhoYouAre.com

Storytellers play god with their stories. They bless and they curse. They create and destroy. They let people die, or live, maybe healthy, maybe maimed. It’s all up to the story’s author. 

There are a few safeguards. First, the storyteller knows the receiver can always choose to put the story down. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stopped a story (book or movie) halfway through because I didn’t want to be left with what was going to come next. I am self-protective that way and glad for the right to be so. And if by chance I miss the opportunity to be surprised...?Enter YOUR labyrinth at: BeWhoYouAre.com

Land has a story. As does sky. And sea. But land, especially, for this is where we make our homes, find our people, raise our children and in many cultures, bury our dead. The land is the soil our stories grow from and are returned to. But what land is your land? What land is mine? How do we know...?

Travel changes us, or at least it should. To see others living out a different story from our own, in ways astonishingly foreign to us, is to grow. Lately, there has been a lot of buzz about privilege, and who has it, and who does not. If we have the means to travel, we have privilege. The least we can do is use it well. Where you choose to travel, and when, and with whom, sets the stage.

From there, you’ve got another host of choices....Enter YOUR labyrinth at: BeWhoYouAre.com

We hear a lot about self-esteem and self-image. We have entire sections of the bookstore devoted to self-help. We may uproot our lives to go “find ourselves.”

Theoretically, our “self” is that part of us that tells us what we believe we are capable of—and not—thus creating a “self-fulfilling prophecy.” Also, the “self-made man” we hear of.

But what is the self? I would argue - nothing but a composite of stories added to the predisposition of personality.

As a concept, a reflection, even a perspective of consciousness, there is nothing materially real to our “self.” The hard science folks agree—our “self” cannot be found. If we are only a combination of brain synapses creating ideas and images that project themselves into our selves… sounds like a scam, doesn’t it...Enter YOUR labyrinth at: BeWhoYouAre.com

Once upon a time.

Past tense, future tense, present tense. (So tense!)

Our stories about the mysteries of life may require us to think in a way that transcends time—but that is also a reference to time. The timeless in opposition to time.

Our sense of time moving fast or slow tells us something about how much we are enjoying the string of present moments we are in.

We have good times and bad times, boring times, climactic times.

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was the okay of times...Enter YOUR labyrinth at: BeWhoYouAre.com

When it comes to stories, there is one skill that—with no exaggeration—will make or break our lives. This skill is a choice that shows up every day, in every interaction, and through everything we create. When the choice comes at a particularly important crossroads, it is vital to exercise this skill. But small, everyday choices add up, too.

What is it? When in doubt, and especially when it is impossible to know a given truth, choose the best possible story...
