A storyteller

“A man can stand anything, except
a succession of ordinary days,” says Goethe
You altered the way I see
and even the way I feel
You ride the arrow
Of time and nudge your neighbor
To follow a voice you are following
Not the herd
But a voice from another mountain
A struggle to climb
The sweat and the joy
How to tell a story, a generous
Telling from your grandfather
You hear a Park Ranger and tell it well
One can be born twice
And be a storyteller.

What is fiction?

“Fiction is the lie through which we tell our truth.”-Albert Camus

six-word story

Why did you leave it there?

Six words

I am on my way home.

story telling

Don’t be frightened

You can’t stitch fractured thoughts together

Gather them in a basket

From time to time

Pick bits and pieces

And tell your story.
