Some stories begin once upon a time, or long, long ago,
But other stories begin here, and now.
Those stories don’t always have a clear direction,
Sometimes they don’t even have a clear beginning.
What they do have is possibility.
Those are stories still in the making,
stories that have yet to be fully written,
stories with the potential to create change, for good, or ill.
We won’t know how the story ends until we get there,
But we can decide what words we use to write those stories.
Words like hope, kindness, gratitude, peace, courage, perseverance, joy,
And love, above all else, love.
