how to tell a story without words

...in case the heat is getting you down.

It has been said:

"Everybody walks past

a thousand story ideas every day."

~Orson Scott Card~

What is your story? Who will you share it with?

What have you lost? Your job? Your home? Your faith?

Who do you miss? Your mother? Your father? Your child? Your friend?

What is it that scares you? The chemo? The pain? The end?

Where are you broken? Where does it hurt?

How will you heal?

Maybe it's a story without words. Something stuck in your throat. Something too painful for words.

Perhaps you can draw it for us.

Or put it to music.

Or bang it out on a  drum.

Even if your story is locked up tight, if your fingers are frozen and your feet are like lead, someone may need to hear it...to read it, or see it, or feel it as it's being told, before they can tell their own. If you can't tell it, find someone who can. 

"Tell your story with your whole heart."

This post is dedicated with deep gratitude to everyone who has shared their stories with me, so I can share them with you. You know who you are...
