The Stories You Tell Yourself

Monday, January 12, 2026

Good morning, The Wonderfell Way.

What an interesting place, our World... this Life.

Remove human drama for a moment and consider what we have to witness.

There's The Sun.
Different angles and intervals of light rule the days.
The oceans wave to churn.
Air picks up its pace, or slows in a great dance called wind.
Water is a fashion show model always changing outfits to suit the scene.

Ice, snow, steam and rain; mist, hail and slush... water cycles a perpetual strut, the sky for its catwalk, the clouds for backstage dressing rooms. What to wear today?

Then there's the land with its conditions. Certain seeds only grow in certain soil.

Mother Nature dresses differently for different temperatures.

Arctic snowmen have nothing to wear in The Amazon.

Everything grows here as a function of time. Even rocks erode and change shape. Some stories call it impermanence, but it's just what time is for.

Life is a circle going somewhere; Time spins the wheel.

Where we're going depends on the stories you tell yourself.

There's too much wonder, too much order, too much beauty and the possibility for love for Life to be arbitrary.

Why do stories work? The answers not plot points, three act structure, or The Hero's Cycle.

Those are maps for methods. Why the same story makes people of all shapes, sizes, and cultures laugh and cry at the same moments is evidence there's more to Life than microscopes can measure.

Perhaps Science stays away from the question of why for reasons of foresight. Story and Art already have the question of why well under control.

Wonderfell addresses the power of story often; it's the gateway to faith.

There's no preaching here. We all must find our own way. Which means finding the stories that best help us understand and experience all Life has to offer.

Speaking of stories, Colore is about to take-off into more fantastical fun.

I'm glad to be able to share some stories with you. I hope (and Hope does, too) you enjoy them.

As always, thank you for reading, take care and make wonderful this wonderful day.
