YOUR story is one of the most important ones it seems. By listening and learning from other’s stories we certainly could benefit in ways we seemed to be missing. One of my favorite speakers, Carl Segan once said “this little blue dot” is the only place we can live at present in this solar system. We have to make it work. I guess that is a story that we could all live by. Cheers.
