Getting lost, pt I

 

"Stories move in circles.

They don’t go in straight lines...

So it helps if you listen in circles....

There are stories inside stories and stories between stories...

and finding your way through them is as easy and as hard...

as finding your way home....

And part of the finding is the getting lost...

And when you’re lost, you start to look around and to listen.”

 

"Stories move in circles.

They don’t go in straight lines. So it helps if you listen in circles.
There are stories inside stories and stories between stories,
and finding your way through them is as easy and as hard as
finding your way home.

And part of the finding is the getting lost.

And when you’re lost, you start to look around and to listen.”
