We each have a story to tell. As I see this life, we are all ancient trees standing in the forest of humanity, and if a cross-section of our self was gently taken one would see the rings that mark the passing of time and our legacy. In between each of these delicate rings lies our story. And it’s these stories that bind the forest and remind us that our roots penetrate the same rich soil and take life from the same mysterious force. We share our stories with one another for validation, acceptance, amusement, to set ourselves apart, to find where we belong, to test our sanity, to warn or encourage others, and to fortify our place in the forest. Here are some of my stories. Look through them and in return share one of yours…with me or someone else. Your choice.
