Individually, I must ask myself each day; am I stuck or am I unfolding, growing, learning, developing, becoming all I can be?
Collectively, we must again ask ourselves each day; are we static and folded or are we dynamic, unfolding, progressing forward, reaching toward our full potential and deeper understanding of the universe, of the Earth, and of life on earth?
Individually and collectively, we each have an underlying, foundational narrative that defines and informs our lives. Is this narrative something that is fresh and new each day? Or is this narrative old and dry and cracking? Are we constantly defending it in our own minds and/or with others?
Are we putting new wine into old wineskins? If we are growing and learning, so must the foundational narratives that inform and contain our lives. Do we tend to gravitate toward sameness and comfortableness, certainty and security? Or do we push ourselves forward, deeper, higher, broader, expanding outward? Do we prefer being stagnant, petrified, putrefied? Or do we seek fresh input and feedback, the new and creative and innovative? Can our grand narrative hold and house our personal narrative that informs our lives and creates meaning for us?
A culture’s organizing myth is the cultural DNA, the building blocks of society.
