Draw a Circle Around Yourself

"A good man draws a circle around himself and cares for those within - his woman, his children.

Other men, draw larger circle and bring with them their brothers and sisters.

But some men have a greater destiny.  They must draw around themselves a circle that includes many, many more.  Your father was one of those men.  

You must decide for yourself whether you are as well."

Time + Effort + Imagination = Good Relations

"Your family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort, and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing."

What Stories Do

"Stories can give us ways to arrange what we see and experience, can give us the material for conversation, can help us to make contact with our grandchildren by reading to them."
