We each weave intricate narratives
About ourselves and our surroundings
The little explanations and stories
Describing who we are to ourselves
We understand our lives in terms of time and experiences
Memories and places
Each friend, neighbor, family member
A character in our story
We read chapters and excerpts from their own narratives
But their stories unfold outside our own
Where we are extras or supporting actors
Passing glances or epic romances
The tales we tell
Intertwine with one another
Thread through our communities
Wind across the globe
We are billions of threads tangled up
Into One
Impossibly
Intricate
Infinite Tale
