Since 1998 I've been sending out these reflections first thing each week--one or more quotes plus my thoughts about the intersections and contradictions. They're archived here back to 2002, and a new one is posted every Monday morning. Dialogue is still welcome . . .

Quote #1230 - #SharingStories

SHARING STORIES


"An enemy is someone whose story you haven't heard."
Gene Knudsen-Hoffman


Sharing stories.
Is there anything more
powerful?
More illuminating?
More
connecting?

It can change you forever,
really hearing others' journeys,
really being heard.
Having each person's journey honored,
validated,
and, yes, questioned as well,
is fundamental to being fully
alive.

And, too, our understandings of our journey
can and should
continue to change
as we understand the world differently,
as we unravel
the mythology,
as we understand others'
journeys, perspectives.

I am continualy surprised by who people are
and what they have been through
when you can be in a place and a time
where and when
they are open to sharing
stories.
