our stories overlap

why share my story
because you may well share yours
and when i do
and when you do
we may well discover
that
parts of my story
and parts of your story
overlap.

the grief i feel
is similar to the grief you can feel.
the hope i hold
can be like the hope
that is in front of you. 

the life you live
sometimes overlaps
onto the life i live.

when we tell our stories
when we share our stories...
we tap into
something deeper
something sacred
something holy.

our stories overlap
and when they do
our lives
are for the better.
