Listen to the voices that travel through you: mother, father, siblings, children, friends, enemies, teachers and heroes. Notice how they act out their dramas on your life slate. They will help you celebrate your myths, sing your songs, and tell your legends.
Memory becomes a trickster who picks and choses scenes. You may recall a punishment for something you did not do. When you tell the story for the hundredth time, you remember that you did commit the act and the whole scene changes. Memories of what happened in one year will be different when retold five and ten years later.
Creative Write: Begin with an unpleasant memory that has faded. Bring it to life by describing the situation in detail. Write about the story. Enter it and explore the ragged edges. Change its focus and reveal a lesson learned.
Show your memory with a moving camera's view.
