The Tale

You live a tale—one of many possibilities, no more feasible or necessary than others. Within the tale, there are things that matter and don’t, interpretations that make actions imperative or all but impossible, and edges beyond which nothing is visible. Plotlines run through the scenes, characters take their place, and what’s going on is often not as it seems. At first, the story feels like a landscape apart from you. But ultimately, it becomes a thing of your making—a creation no less colorful than those that begin with “once upon a time.”
