Cosmic Gardener – Cultivating a Life

In indigenous cultures humans are often referred to as the story telling animals. Story telling has defined and maintained Aboriginal culture across millennia. In medieval times Bards kept history and culture alive through storytelling. Lucky children learn early the magic of stories that begin, “Once upon a time.” As adults our stories are used to illustrate our values, politics, or religious beliefs.

Everyone has a story. In our deeply polarized society there is a disturbing tendency to dismiss, demean or discount another’s story. It’s time for us all to become story listeners

Everyone has a right to be heard without being attacked or vilified. Whether we agree with what they say or not. A wise friend posits that no one’s story diminishes another’s.

His story.
Her story.
My story.
Your story.
One story.
Love.
