Storylines
This section deals with how we look at individual events and the stories we tell ourselves about them. The next section, Frameworks and Patterns, deals with the complex web of stories that make up our sense of self.
My personal belief, and experience, is that seeing this aspect of ourselves more clearly is the master key to being more present.
