a postmodern bard

i'm obsessed with stories, narratives, anecdotes and especially with the lives that produce them, recount them, are effected by them. A story is not just a text - it's a tribute, a confession, a little snippet of wisdom that ideally (for me) becomes part of the new mythology of an ever changing consciousness. Cheers to the new gods and goddesses!
