Our Stories
My Friend,
Everybody likes a good story. Of course, considering successes like the Rocky Horror Picture Show and Sean of the Dead, there are lots of people who like “bad” stories too.
Sometimes the question is: do we like OUR stories and do our stories like us? Do they build us up, or leave us lower than the gravediggers newly buried daughter.
I don’t know if everything happens for a reason. I don’t know if there is a god, or what God means. I don’t know whether there is some higher power who only gives us as much as we can handle – or whether it is simply our cortical brain giving the next thing to process.. What I do know is that there are times when it is all we can do to keep turning pages and move forward just one sentence at a time.
The question ends up being: is this a moment where my story is going to prove one more reason I can’t…? Or is it going to become another chance to prove to my story; that I can — and will — overcome the solution. Assuming I haven’t already. After all, I don’t know many babies who only try to stand just once.
Turning a page,
Kaye
