Life's a Beach:

Life's a Beach: I can feel the cool sand beneath my feet, or get buried beneath it. I can bask in the warmth of the sun, or get burned. I can swim against the tide or ride the waves. The beach is just the beach...I have the job of creating my experience of it! Such are the stages of life.

Storytelling

I could tell you my life story and probably will before all is said and done. After all that is what we humans like to do most is sharing our stories. It's not a fault, mind you, it is what it is. People tell stories for many reasons... some tell their stories as an instructional "how to" or "how NOT to". Others engage in storytelling as a means of validation of self or self worth. Many people as they get older tell their story as a way to just stay engaged in life. I have been privy to many who just like to hear themselves talk and some who use words to heal themselves and others. We created language so that we could share our stories.
