Tell me a Story

Fri Oct 06 20:20:33 EDT 2006
Check out the cool stuff at this web site:www.storypeople.com.

With profound sayings by Brian Andreas, a storyteller and artist, and
some of Brian's friends, the site offers greeting cards, prints,
sculptures and more with wildly meaningful statements. Brian & Co.'s
philosophy: "We believe (fiercely) in the power of stories, not
because they're our stories, but because it is valuable & right to
protect the precious connections between people."

My favorites?

"There has never been a day when I have not been proud of you, I said
to my son, though some days I'm louder about other stuff so it's easy
to miss that."

"I read once that the ancient Egyptians had fifty words for sand & the
Eskimos had a hundred words for snow. I wish I had a thousand words
for love, but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me
while you sleep & there are no words for that."

"I sometimes wake in the early morning & listen to the soft breathing
of my children & I think to myself, this is one thing I will never
regret & I carry that quiet with me all day long."
