Your Story of With
The Story of With has proven a rescue for the hearts of countless creatives. The allegory is part Alice in Wonderland, part The Matrix, and all invitation to experience a better way to live, love, and create with God.
Here’s the key moment in the allegory where the mysterious sage Iona gives Mia four mysterious vials that she must fill to escape the Orphan Realm and enter the Freedom Realm:
Iona reached into her jacket and handed Mia a small brown leather pouch tied with rope. Within were four glass vials held in place by thin velvet straps. Each was a unique shape and color with words carved into the glass. One was blood-red with a heart etched into it. The word Awaken was inscribed along the side. The one that appeared to be the oldest had a pearl-like finish. On it was the word Together. Another was a deep blue and had Identity carved into it. The last was a seafoam-green color and resembled the kind of bottle you’d put a note in and cast to the sea. Except it was no larger than a test tube. She ran her fingers over the word on that vial. Expectant. Each was sealed with a cork, even though the vials were empty.
Mia looked at Iona. “What am I supposed to do with these?”
Iona smiled, “You need them for your journey.”
We need them for our journey as well. The vials will help illuminate how you can: 1) Stay Expectant, 2) Awaken Your Heart, 3) Know Your Identity, and 4) Create Together with God.
But like Neo and Alice, there’s a decision to make. Will you take the red or blue pill? Will you stay stuck in your current story or go deeper down the rabbit hole into Wonderland? The choice is yours.
