Friday reflection

Here's the thing

Happy April, happy purple crocuses blanketing grey-brown forest floors, happy shy brown buds on trees growing fat and pink and bold, happy red tulips on bright green stems from the farmers’ market in jars on mantels and tables, happy cracking open the spine on a brand new book, happy smell of paper and ink, happy new stories, happy you.

The Quote

“But here’s the thing: stories created only by men are really stories about men.”

- Elizabeth Lesser

The Questions

Are the books you’re reading and the TV shows and movies you’re watching written by women? Most of them? Some of them?

In your experience, how are stories told by men different than those told by women?

What stories have men told you?

What stories are women more likely to tell?

What stories will you tell?

I will gather them like spring flowers, and welcome them into my home.
