Story


Oh good heavens

I wonder why I write.

I think, why do I have an inclination to tell Stories?

Where do they come from?

Is it some muscle we exercise,

or an organ that we don’t see a whole lot of?

Stories are why I write.

We are stories.

The Stories we tell.

The Stories we love.

The Stories that shape our character.

Stories are how we connect to others.

I don’t know you until I hear one of your Stories.

Because you are your Stories.

So make it a good Story.
