"Bring Others Stories

In some Islamic societies you would never bring a sick person flowers and candies as we do in this country. Instead you would tell them a story of patience, endurance, and triumph. The images such a tale would plant in their awareness would circulate through their souls just as powerfully as a medicinal elixir would travel to diseased cells by way of the bloodstream. The more a story is considered, the more it can empower the body’s own healing mechanisms. Richard Stone, The Healing Art of Storytelling.

Collect stories from your life or the lives of others to tell during hospital visits"

From "100 More Ways to Keep Your Soul Alive" by Frederick and Mary Ann Brussat)

May you be blessed and bless with inspiring stories.
