It is amazing how the mind never catches a break. All our life, it is constantly active, creating and recreating scenarios, ideas, linking up experiences and evolving in its belief system as it gains more experience through life (one of the reasons I quickly look away, or squint my eyes whenever Facebooks reminds me that I have a “memory” from years past). Anyway, I am here to share these thoughts as they come through and probably, I will one day review some of them if I happen to know better.
I enjoy telling stories. I took the trait from my dad, the ultimate story teller. Mazi (Mr). David is the ultimate story teller to me, not because he has a 1000 stories to share, but because of his ability and the ease with which he can link his stories, most times, years apart and on different topics, to make his point and often, share a moral lesson. He is gifted. Growing up, it was often interesting and fun listening to his stories, until towards the end of the stories when you realize that all you have been listening to was actually about you (wheew). He believed in the use of words/stories to scold, and also to praise his children.
On a second thought, I think my next post here will be one of his stories he shared with me. It is amongst my all time favorite for numerous reasons and also, because he touched on a topic he has another 1000s of stories to share from, but just like many who had experienced it, he barely talks about.
