Here is a little bit from Thomas More in the book Car of the Soul:

"The life of the soul, as the structure of dreams reveals, is a continual going over and over of the material of life. In memory we never tire of reflecting on the same events. I spent many summers in my childhood on a farm with an uncle who told stories endlessly. This, I now see, was his method of working the raw material of his life, his way of turning his experience round and round in the rotation that stories provide. Out of that incessant storytelling I know he found added depths of meaning. Storytelling is an excellent way of caring for the soul. It helps us see the themes that circle in our lives, the deep themes that tell the myths we live."

Maybe that's why some of us like to tell the old stories and sing the old songs.

"Long ago, it must be...I have a photograph. Preserve your memories. They're all that's left you." A little Paul Simon seems to fit quite well, too.

Peace, y'all.
