                          what’s your story?




Wednesday, June 6, 2012
If stories come to you, care for them.
                And learn to give them away where
                they are needed. Sometimes a person
                needs a story more than food to stay
                alive.

                          Barry Lopez, Crow and Weasel (1990)
