Storied Soul

Poignant stories resonate and reverberate at undiscovered depths of being. Themes beyond words wrap themselves around my soul and teach me subtle variations on the party line. Every day I must dare again to be me. More often than not I am met by quashing, taming efforts that do not trust that the wild, free me will be a force for good. It gets old through the years. Until, that is, I hear another story. Another story where I recognize myself anew.
