When we start telling stories we gave our lives a new dimension: the dimension – apprehension – comprehension.

Ben Okri – Birds of Heaven

Are you committed to giving your life a new dimension? Are you ready to enter a dimension of expanded creativity aligned with expanding creation?

If so you become a bird of heaven. You are attuned to the source of the infinite. You learn to fly the nest of resistance to growth in Love.

To tell the story of who you truly are involves tremendous risk. Yet the rewards for such risks are equally tremendous. In the Irish traditional folk song “She Moved Through the Fair” the meeting of two lovers ends because one refuses to tell their story. This is indicated in the lines:

But One has a sorrow

That never was told. 

There are very few of us living the human story who do not have a sorrow that never was said. In this writer’s family many sorrows were left unsaid out of fear and guilt.  So the story of fear and guilt is visited upon the sons and daughters for generation upon generation.

This is until one child comes along to change the dynamic. They are often those children thought of as the ‘black sheep’ of the family when often the truth is that they fight to be free of the burden of sorrows unsaid.  They are really Birds of Heaven.

To be a storyteller for your family, for your community, for your nation, for the world is a great responsibility.  The true storyteller suffers the chaos and the madness, the nightmares and dreams to resolve it all, to see clearly and then guide you surely through the fragmentation of a shifting world.

Still and all – you get to fly!
