When we reach for a "sense of place," we posit an intimate relationship to a set of stories connected to a particular location, such as Hong Kong or the Grand Canyon or the bed where we were born, thinking of histories and the evolution of personalities in a local context. Having "a sense of self" means possessing a set of stories about who we are and with whom and why.” ThinkingMeanSelfStoriesBornImaginationParticularPersonalityEvolutionBedConnectedLocalsIntimateWho We AreLocationSense Of SelfPossessingCanyonsHong KongIntimate RelationshipsGrand CanyonSense Of Place Book:The Nature of Generosity Source: The Nature of Generosity

Stories bind. . . . They are basic to who we are. A story composite personality which grows out of its community. It maintains a stability within that community, providing common knowledge as to how things are, how things should be -- knowledge based on experience. These stories become the conscience of the group. They belong to everyone.” ShouldRealStoriesTurnsIndividualGrowsCommunityCommonGroupsHonestPersonalityConscienceStorytellingWho We AreStabilityTrustedProvidingCompositesCommon Knowledge Author:Terry Tempest Williams
