Solutions To Problems Often Depend Upon How

Fluidity And Discontinuity Are Central To The Reality In Which We Live.

Of Any Stopping Place In Life, It Is Good To Ask Whether It Will Be A Good Place From Which To Go On As Well As A Good Place To Remain.

The Past Empowers The Present, And The Sweeping Footsteps Leading To This Present Mark The Pathways To The Future.

Wherever A Story Comes From, Whether It Is A Familiar Myth Or A Private Memory, The Retelling Exemplifies The Making Of A Connection From One Pattern To Another: A Potential Translation In Which Narrative Becomes Parable And The Once Upon A Time Comes To Stand For Some Renascent Truth. This Approach Applies To All The Incidents Of Everyday Life: The Phrase In The Newspaper, The Endearing Or Infuriating Game Of A Toddler, The Misunderstanding At The Office. Our Species Thinks In Metaphors And Learns Through Stories.

Every Loss Recapitulates Earlier Losses, But Every Affirmation Of Identity Echoes Earlier Moments Of Clarity.
