LOSS

LIVING WITH OUR STORY

"We live in a society whereby people are living beneath their potential. They tend to go through the motions trying to please everyone except God. For some reason, they need to follow the dreams of their parents, siblings, friends, and elders." – Rev. Sinclair Grey 111


Our society is a culture like others where children are told the story that supports the life of the family, the culture, and their nation. Life revolves around stories; stories told, lived, and re-created to place us back where we belong in our lifetime, or move us into the craziness of not remembering who we are. It is difficult to return, and embody the story we were born to live because a big part of us wants to fit in with others, and people embrace the fear of authentic lives. We crave social contact, and despair over social isolation… Being disconnected from our true stories cripples us, and saps up a lot of our energies that could be involved in the act of birthing who we are in this lifetime.” – Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
