Is it Really Storytime?

[qos]

I've said, I've written, I've thought. . . that I am searching for stories, for new stories, for meaningful stories. . .

But maybe it's time now to release not just my old stories but stories themselves, and storytelling as a way of life.

Maybe it's time to stop telling stories to myself and start planning and doing instead: to plan and engage in adventure instead of just dreaming about adventures; to act and become my desired self instead of just writing about a person I am convinced could never exist in this world.

There's more risk, of course -- but I may have finally come to the place in my life where I am ready to believe that it's only in risk that we grow. That I can grow.

I want to be more than I am.
There is nothing stopping me but me.

And if I may be a noodge here, the New Hermetics is a great set of tools with which to plan, act, and become who you want to be. *poke poke*

I worked with NH for about a month, and it just didn't resonate with me. Or maybe it was Jason who didn't resonate.

What I'm doing now is giving me more focus and more energy than anything else in a very long time.
