    Beautiful. What touched me most was the idea that we often carry symbols long before we understand what they mean to us. A color, an object, a place, a ritual can hold an entire story of family, culture and memory. As a psychologist who works deeply with symbols, I loved the idea that we don’t always invent our stories. Sometimes we uncover what was already living within us.
