Life-Story and Love-Story
Dear Friends
Much of our mental ‘self-talk’ does become the role and script that we live our life from. The stories that we tell ourselves continue to cultivate and create the person that we are. Seemingly subtle yet psychologically solid, we strengthen and sustain a someone that is our self. Please enjoy my verse about this process.

LIFE-STORY AND LOVE-STORY
We all like and love a story;
and we all are but a story.
And of that story, we are both the story maker and the story teller.
We are but the story and the stories
We tend to tell ourselves throughout our life;
Which become the experience of our life.
So what story are we telling our selves;
What stories are we telling others?
Is this the story which we wish to live out and make our life?
Maybe we need to appreciate
That we have more power in this process
Than we have ever really thought about to bring about!
As the story maker, as the story teller;
As the editor, publisher, printer, publicist and critic;
Maybe we can choose what we wish to produce!
The story that others might like to hear,
The story that the public wants or wishes for;
May not be purposed to produce our worth and joy!
With Mindfulness and Kind-fulness, with wisdom and discernment;
We can compose and cultivate our story, our self, our life;
With considered care and creativity, purposed to our life’s potential.
