On Sorrow and Praise

(And being there in their reality) All sorrows can be born if you tell them in a story what if you can't find the words to tell your malady what if the story tells you makes you, shapes you? Experience tells us that our childhoods leave us in stories like this stories we never found a way to voice no one there to help us find the words When we can't find a way to tell our story our story tells us we dream stories we develop symptoms we act in ways we don't understand Being present in someone else's reality takes effort but isn't that what relationships are all about effort - hard work thinking about significant others ultimately is more needed than praise.
