Day 10 - Story by enfleshed https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6 enfleshed - poetry through lent en-us 2021-02-18 21:42:16 UTC 2023-01-29 22:12:08 UTC hello@padlet.com I read this morning that fear prevents us from hearing the whole story. I think fear prevents us from telling our story. Perhaps love will conquer the fear so each story can be told and heard from a place of compassion and caring. https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248070611 2021-02-27 12:50:43 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248070611 "Stories" https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248179162 When I was young, my stories were sometimes lies
to avoid punishment.
Am I now telling stories of truth in vulnerability
to invite others in?
May it be so.

I’m apart of the greatest 
Story ever told]]> 2021-02-27 14:42:51 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248206719 https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248217970 I swallow them up,
Gobbling as many as I can so that they might dwell inside me,change me,
Fearful that if I don’t let your stories reincarnate in me, I will be incomplete ]]> 2021-02-27 14:51:39 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248217970 https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248222032 When every single thing in my world fell away — partner, home, friends, self, trust,

Story remained.

Help me accept Your call to speak this truth. ]]> 2021-02-27 14:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248222032 Narrative https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248293239 Without the narrative, there is no shape, no power

Craft your story, it is the way to wholeness

Always be ready, though, for the lot twist]]> 2021-02-27 15:46:41 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248293239 Soul Story https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248448747 2021-02-27 17:32:41 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248448747 Story https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248593034 Where are You in the story of today?
You in the construction, cooperation, and communion with earth and sky
You are in the springtime, sunshine, and slurping saag aloo
You are in the greening, giggling, and prancing like a prat!]]> 2021-02-27 19:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248593034 Who? https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248610254 who writes the narrative 
that is ours? 
and to whom does
this story belong?

I was a self-harmer
Telling a story of sexual violence
By becoming 
A victim and perpetrator of violence both
Twenty years later
My skin tells the story]]> 2021-02-27 21:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248747918 What's your story? https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248790210 When the smiling girl asks me this question, I almost laugh- where do you want me to start?

My story is printed on my heart, but people think they can tell it the second they look at my uncomfortable posture

Our stories are all eternally linked- I am who I am because of those who love me- but how long will the collective tales still be told?]]> 2021-02-27 21:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248790210 https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248822566 The story we keep telling ourselves is sucking the life out of us - new story new story new story please]]> 2021-02-27 22:29:46 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248822566 Story https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248825466 I've sat by enough hospital beds and led enough funerals to know how this ends

I turned to the end of mysteries to read the last page, and it never helped

One day at a time, one page at a time, one laugh at a time, one tear at a time]]> 2021-02-27 22:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248825466 My story https://padlet.com/enflesehd/d5cy59pnn9nujof6/wish/1248897097 Common sense tells me that the closing chapters of my story are being told - right now. 
How many more chapters?
How many more pages?
Will there be an exciting climax?
God only knows...
and I trust that He will be the co-author.

Some of our stories
Are many-storied buildings
It’s complicated!

Whose voices shift and settle within?
What silence remains?

But then I recall how one book can make or break a trip to the library 

How one perfect story can tether us to this spinning rock in infinite space

Who we are, who we want to be

Shaping and reshaping, in faith, with courage

A leap over the small campfire, a daring moment.
Such feats are the dancing to the dream story told by God, sung out in 5/8 time, dancing in sandals, yet without one's feet being held to that fire.

The quest is to turn every story
Into poetry.
