Some great quotes I've run across lately.

"A memory is a complicated thing,
a relative to truth,
but not its twin."

Barbara Kingsolver


"A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open."

Thomas Robert Dewar and apparently one of Frank Zappa's favorite quotes.


"When we tell stories, we heal. When someone listens to our stories, we heal."

Frank Ostaseski


That last one really struck a chord with me. If you've been around here for a while you know me and my little stories. It never occurred to me all this time that the reason why I do that is to heal. Thanks for listening.

I don't say much, but you give a real insight into what 99% of us really do and ponder. A slice of real life.
