The obstacle on the way becomes the way.*
Marcus Aurelius

God made man because he loves stories.**
Elie Weisel

We find ourselves in the best stories when we are
being present, adaptable, imaginative, playful, innovative with
what is happening around or to us;
If we think we’re going to get a story that’s exactly
what we want, we’re going to be
disappointed –
We know the skills to work on.
