Our stories might well challenge our hearers—intellectually, metaphorically, universally.

:- Doug.

Meaning is only between and among people.

:- Doug.

How do stories travel? How do memes travel? How does mysticism travel?

:- Doug.

Your story can change the lives of adult grandchildren. But not the story you’re telling. And not the way you’re telling it.

:- Doug.

Retell each other’s story. Find its other paths.

:- Doug.

Story is invitation. Story can be declined. Story is inexhaustible.

:- Doug.

Trust grandchildren. That is all. Trust the story to grandchildren.

:- Doug.

Each one’s story touches the universal. Microcosm is macrocosm. We owe the grandchildren of humanity our most soul-wrenching story. Just one. This one.

:- Doug.
