Trapped in Stories

We can become trapped within stories: limiting our thought and action.

This prison may be one we willingly inhabit, because other words for it are ‘belonging’ in stories, ‘communities’ of a story, or ‘safety’ of a story.

Some stories we do not even realise we are ‘trapped’ within: possibly stories of our culture, our heritage, stories that are so ‘everyday’ and ‘everywhere’ that we cannot even see their edges.
