I have loved some more than others really, but have liked every one, so like you, feel torn to not see them all. It's a lovely sentiment to stay awake "until you've tried them all".

I wish I could take a day off to catch up on all the stories I've missed. These slices do shout loudly....I'm drawn to them. I agree with Lee Ann, your comments have been an inspirtation and comfort to me too.

In them, we tell participants that each of us is living a story. We have crises and character transformation, just like a good book. And the better we live our story, the more others are drawn to our stories. I love your poem as you've captured exactly why we're drawn to reading other's slices, pieces of their stories. And why we need to write them.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849551351155519101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699397659689455615.post-83881571269521767162012-03-14T07:48:35.328-04:002012-03-14T07:48:35.328-04:00Love your poem and feel I can connect to so many p...Love your poem and feel I can connect to so many parts of it.
