…in the aftermath of violent histories, telling stories and listening to stories are acts of peace. ~ Connie Braun, Silentium
All day long these children and I
trade stories
we weave colors and textures
we write together in journals
we tell what it is all about
we trade love for love
I hold their tears
I am the story basket
and in me the stories change
color and shape and sound
they take on rhythm
drum beats
