What We're Fighting FOR
Parenting, Leadership, and Storytelling
What Holds A Free Nation Together?
At the intersection between
the individual, the community, the nation, and the natural world, are the principles
that hold the fabric of reality together.
That's where the stories are!
Meet Dio Lyons
Humans are story-creatures.
Without love, we have no story, and without a story, we have nothing to protect, and with nothing to protect, there can no dignity earned.
What's a human-life worth if denied access to a story that points towards dignity's path?
A people who live without a cultural story are a people deprived of their humanness. If the cultural story evaporates, the culture becomes easily enslaved. This was Huxley's warning in Brave New World.
Though humanity is being lulled into Huxley's neoliberal dystopia, our human DNA remains intact–––still coded with its original instructions. Our humanness remains alive and well in those who can read the oldest of genetic instructions.
All this to say––– Unless our nation can protect its cultural stories, the U.S. Constitution will not continue to protect liberty. Preserving our humanness and our Constitution will require our brightest political leaders learn how to tell better stories, hence our political leaders must become cultural leaders––– leaders who tell cultural stories.
The Firekeeper facilitates this transformation.
