picture an image. whatever comes to your mind. what does that image mean? yes, really. make an image and tell yourself what it means. say it out loud, if that helps. be specific. congratulations: you have created, or repeated, a story. a story of the meaning of what you see. we all do this, all the time, and usually unconsciously. we see something, whether in our mind, in the world around us, in a book, a movie, on a computer screen, and we form a story about what we see. automatically. an example once we see people/ things/ circumstances, we apply meaning to them. cannot help but to do so. often, if only to stop us from being overwhelmed, we apply the meaning of no meaning. why? because. because we make sense of life by making stories of it. because stories give us order and keep us sane. because stories help us to know we are alive. because we can share stories with others, in the hope and plan to convey. even, to convince. create. confirm. a story can have just about any meaning, even the meaning that there is no meaning in particular, or in life as a whole.
