Short stories are an engaging and an insightful way to
learn about customs, culture and how to use the language,
in this case British English.
A great way to learn and remember -
a story offers much more than words alone.
(links always open in new window.)
Story telling contributes to the making of good people and making good people, better.
In this dog eat dog world how good it is to have such stories.
2018 sees a century pass since the end of the great war.
Europe's gift to Britain.
Our gift to them was the lives of so many fine young people - the best of our people all lost for what?
One might well ask!
Within the awfulmess that war makes of innocent lives, there lies a poignance not lost on those with worthy souls.
From the sacrifice we can gain courage, inspiration, acceptance, empathy, humanity.
All was lost for them, we must do better for their sakes, for their memory.

Memory is just a story that you repeat and embelish for yourself . . .
but still think it's true.
You are completely alone in the world in having that particular version of memory, everyone else's is different, never the less, it remains your truth.
You cannot observe another's dreams, only listen to what they think they saw.
