What if you are more than your story of who you think you are? Have you ever wondered who you would be, if you put down your story?

I was talking with a client the other day about that scary question: what is it we are on earth to do? “If only I could discover my reason to be here,” she said, ‘then I’d know how to live.”

When I came into the world, I knew nothing, well, nothing that I could remember, that is.
