It Was a Dark and Stormy Night
Significant events become woven into our ongoing stories as we decide how to gauge their impact on our lives. We remember where we were, what we felt like, how it sounded, how it smelled, and what our reactions were. We compare notes with other people affected by these events, sometimes altering our details and merging our stories. Used as teaching tools, the stories that emerge can help us avoid repeating the worst outcomes and reinforce the best outcomes.
What would you put in the earth as a treasure for the future to find?

Readers' Responses:
"I would save a Bible, a current newspaper, my journal, and a copy of Storycatcher. I would want the future to know the entire story, from The Way Things Were Meant to Be, to The Way Things Turned Out, to The Hope That Things Can Change (at least the hope that exists now, in the year 2006)."
Anonymous "My mother's rosary. She hung on to her faith for comfort through her whole difficult life, and it didn't fail her. I'd want the future to know that sometimes it's what you believe that saves you, not the things that happen around you."
Jenny Otis, for my mom Marie "I would make sure the world always had dogs. For me, dogs are a spontaneous love, always with me from my first memory, one of the few things on this earth about which I have no doubt. Their animal beauty, their eager welcomes and their warmth in bed--what could be more reliable comfort? Strangers' dogs or my own, my heart leaps up. Dogs are what we come home to after the wars. "
