The Journey

Where do stories come from?
A question to write a story about!
Have you ever noticed stories sometimes start with Once upon a time?

Once upon a time in a land far far away and on another timeline a writer was walking towards… Walking and searching to find the place where stories come from.

Slowly making her way towards a distant structure gave her time to ponder what she was really searching for. “Stories come out of the imagination don’t they? Stories come out of the tip of my pen.” Her sense of humour  kicked in. “Lovely thought, sure looks it when I write.” She giggled as the structure began to fill the horizon.
“How do I know where I am going? What brought me in this direction?”

“You are a storyteller.” A voice spoke. “You are just following the threads.”

“Following the threads?”

Like a tapestry, each thread will become a part of the whole to create the pattern.

“Patterns emerging on the canvas of the book as each story is written.”

The conversation stopped as she stood in front of the vast structure.

“Remember!

Remember this journey started with a question!

Where do the stories come from?”

She took a deep breath. “It is my intention to find the answer.” She looked up to see the door slowly opening. “Stepping over the threshold is answering my hearts call.”

Yes, and you will be required to visit three rooms to find the answer you seek.
Her inner guidance led her to the room of support, guidance, Love and Friendship. An immediate feeling of being accompanied told her she would no longer be alone. Travelling with her friends to the room of wisdom and inner knowledge she entered the second room. Here she learned to sit in stillness and of the many wonderful wisdoms she really did know although she did not know how she knew them. She also knew she could wait for the answer to her question and answers would come to her. Mystery and Faith.

Finally her journey took her to the room of Blessings and Wealth. Bringing the gifts and helpful friends from the other rooms she sat and felt such gratitude in her heart.

Breathing deeply in the moment she felt herself shift to a new place within. Slowly opening her eyes she realized they were all there, right in front of her.

Stories: shelves and shelves of stories. 

Stories already written.

Stories waiting to be written.

Stories in the process of forming in the heart of the storyteller.

All accessible to every writer and storyteller.

“Reach out.” A voice said. “Think with your heart what you wish to write and the story will emerge.”
Movement caught her attention, the phoenix grace and wisdom dropped This story into her heart and mind. She understood the symbolic gift of its flight, bowed and thanked the bird.

Stories come from Love and walking the Journey.

Opening her eyes she found herself back at the desk in her writing room, knowing she would journey back to that wonderful structure to find other answers to the storytellers questions.

The End/The Beginning

My Week:
This story describes my week. It has been one of research and play.
Have you ever fallen in love with a book? I have. My Way of the Heart™ Feng Shui II manual is the book I go to, to seek answers, find myself or find the direction I need to go to, to find my answers. I truly love that manual. The story I wrote above is the journey I walked tonight doing a Feng Shui II Integration™. I truly feel blessed to have found The Way of the Heart™ and the vast storehouse of wisdom for me to journey in. Makes my little heart sing.

Maybe next week I shall tell you about my journey with J.K Rowling, Harry Potter and the Inklings a group of writers in Oxford England who included C.S Lewis and J.R.R Tolkien.

Thanks so much for walking with me.
