between dawn and dusk
we fill the day with our stories

depending on personal style
we tell stories of comedy and tragedy, drama and fantasy
flavoring our internal and external landscape

language is our superpower

we create worlds of heroes and villains,
soulmates, sidekicks and extras

including and omitting
focusing and highlighting details
adding weight in the retelling

no matter how genuine the narrative
the angle is never wide enough to encompass the whole story

my current favorite ponder:

What would you be without your story?
What remains?
