“The stories people tell have a way of taking care of them. If the 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. That is why we put these stories in each other’s memory.”
Barry Lopez
Snowflake haiku
The snowflakes have joined
Into big wet shaggy gangs
And splat to the ground.
‘Tis the season…
Band-Aids is promoting Band-Aids as a stocking stuffer.
“Merry Christmas!”
“Oh, boy! Band-Aids! I hope I get hurt soon!”
I now want to write a story about unlikely Christmas presents received with improbable – but genuine – enthusiasm.
Bear in mind…
When people ask me to bear something in mind, I am tempted to tell them that my head is full enough as it is, and there’s no room for a bear in there too.
