Stories tell us who we are,
they tell us where we came from.
They are the memories of our
ancestors, and our coming legacy.

Stories define our victories
as well as  our failures.
They inform our character
and refine and define our beliefs.

Stories bring comfort to the
sorrowful and inspiration
and education to those
lost and searching.

Stories are what we must
tell ourselves to know who
we are.  So be good to yourself
and tell your best stories

and believe!
