The stories we live by...

Thu Feb 5, 2009, 8:22 AM
"In a fractured age, when cynicism is god, here is a possible heresey:
we live by stories, we also live in them.

One way or another we are living the stories planted in us early or along the way, we are also living the stories we planted - knowingly or unknowingly - in ourselves.

We live stories that either give our lives meaning or negate it with meaninglessness.

If we change the stories we live by, quite possibly we change our lives."

I have made an artwork featuring your 'Fallen' poem. I would like to have your permission to publish it on DeviantArt and other places.

You have very inspiring poems and it would be an honor for me to be able to use them in the near future
