In the latest Glimmer Train bulletin, there's an amazing piece by Melanie Rae Thon, "The Heart Breaks, and Breaks Open: Seven Reasons to Tell a Story in 2011." Here's a small snippet:

There is no such thing as "I."
Re-membering is transformation!
Every person on this earth is a storyteller.

You must not be a fan of Buddhist thought.
I agree, as the old saying goes: 'everyone has a story in them'Some of us are lucky enough to be able to put it into print and share our story with the world ...

I do actually,(not to the extent I did in the 70s) but for the fact the more I understand of science and people, the real mystery, the only certain one is the fact Of 'I'. I think many scientifically trained people would at least partly agree. It may simply be opinion or perspective.
