This is the closing debrief in yesterdays creative process session at the Authentic Leadership in Action Institute in Halifax. We were exploring story:
Our similar stories
Got better as we told them
When I wrote mine
It was all about me
When I told it
I found some distance
I can see the monster
When I get out of the way
When I whisper
Transported to a garage and toolbox
A love of listening
With sadness
Pure negativity is not evil
It is the pleasure we find in negativity
That is
We make decisions
About our personal stories
The evil and the good in our hearts
The passion without definition
Random meaning
In our lives
When we get out of the way
With imagination and insight
The storyteller is a guide
Letting the story unfold
Each time
With the prince
The wolf and the horse
What do I do now?
That’s up to you?
Crush the Giant’s heart
Or put it back?
And live happily
Alchemically
ever after…
