It’s late at night and I’m staring at the sanitation trucks picking up recyling bins and moving stuff about. The city truly never sleeps. There’s round the clock fun, trouble and caution. New York’s vibrancy was a bit dampened. However, I digress. Back to the sanitation trucks. I stared at the workers and thought of how one person’s garbage is another person’s treasure. As such New York is know the maximum venue for dumpster diving. Seeking your own version of gold and jewels.
In thinking about garbage and self enriching, I remembered how powerful our life stories and lived experiences can be. What we have gone through, if willing to share, can be a survival guide for some. It can be inspirational or it can just outright be a blueprint or roadmap.

I’m just sorry people have to deal with my garbage.

Story is the Backbone of Culture
As Words Both Oral And Written
Come to Spread What Works Best
And Not So Best From Before Yet
Sadly Spreads What Works Worst
And Even Worse From Years Before
Truly Anything May
Come What
May And Go When
Human iMaGiNaTioN
And Creativity Holds Hands
In Rarified Abstract Constructs We
Create Before And Now Again to Sweep
Away Old Stories And Affirm Them Now too
So False
or True
Story
Remains
As Grains of Sand
FootPrints to Create
Old or New Next So Where
Will We Go True i’ll Try to Relate
Where i am Now And Where i’ve Been
Yet Ever Inhale of Peace Exhale of Love
Is Another Potential Story Greater to Take
Than What’s Ever Been Danced And Sung
For me Than Ever Before And This is what
Is So Sad About Covers Of Books Both
Front and Back For They Attempt
To Begin and End A Never
Ending Beginning
Story Now
Of Eternal
Breath Changing
EverMore As Peace
Inhales Love Fearlessly
More To Dance And Sing Who We aRe NoW..:)

Indeed ― this is why I did that whole series of posts on my ruptured cerebral aneurysm last year. It could literally be a survival guide if someone reads it and remembers it later, when they need it …
