The pull on your heart strings that remind you of

The sorrow and regret troubled mind can’t forget.

Chances lost, potential cut off, what could have been, what might have been;

Strums another note of regret.

As the years progress, time they say heals a broken heart

But a chance reminder, a place or sound

Silent plucking continues and falls to the ground.

Those around, unaware of the soft lament you play

Hidden beneath the smile you wear every day.

If you confide you might find that others too

Have struck a discordant note or two.

So you are not alone with your lonely heart..

It does not mean life will fall apart.

For the very harmonics of the above,

Teach us the mysterious lessons of Love.

There are many people in this World who have suffered unjustly at the hands of a fiction. Without their consent or knowledge, a deception has been perpetrated against them. The enablers of this deception are obliged to make the lies they perpetrate public record in some form and our silence is taken as consent. I do not consent.

Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.

Can you recall as a child having a favourite story that you wanted to have repeated over and over again?  Can you remember your feelings around that; feelings that are and were, difficult to put into words (as some important things in life are)? 

Think of all the stories, myths and fairy tales worldwide that have been told and repeated by memory from generation to generation, particularly before the time of written recording and printing.  In these tales are teachings of wisdom about how to proceed, how to survive and how to move on.  Stories as medicine relates to our identification with the characters and their situation.  We relate to the suffering endured and the triumphs of the characters give us hope. If the hero or heroine in the story can get through, then maybe we can too.
