There is a story behind everything. Think about it. When you bought a certain painting, or piece of pottery, or stained glass, maybe it was gifted to you. What is the story that goes with it? There is a story to be told inside the painting and each person looking at it may interpret it differently. Then there’s the story about how it came into your possession.
How about the story in your memory about the scar on your knee or how my two kittens, now cats, came to lighten my life and teach me about unconditional love. Your first taste of ice cream, remember it? What's the story?
Most times we don’t even think about such things or we think that our stories are all the same. Ho-hum. But that isn’t true. The differences are what make our stories interesting to others. It’s our differences that kick up fascination. It’s our setting apart that creates compassion and understanding. It’s stuff that makes a story.
