What are your thoughts on these phrases
"All endings are also begginnings" (pg1)
This phrase is very much true for some people (and not just in death) as they come to a particular time in their life where they can make some very big or very small changes. For example someone who has undergone dramatic weight loss may feel that it is the start of a new life for them. Or maybe an alcoholics choice to become sober or perhaps something like the finishing of high school for a student and attending university/ getting your own place to live away from their parents would be a new beggining for them and their independance.
"No story sits by itself" (pg 11)
I was unsure of what this meant but my thoughts on this are that many stories are inter-twined into the one story it is like the theory that one cannot exist without co-existing (in other words we need others to survive) it is an interesting phrase that can have many numerous meanings to it and it makes you think more widely about the topic.

I guess the idea that no-one person or no one event exists on isolation.
The idea that we are all interconnected is an interesting one.
Hi Alicia
How would you answer the question: "What is it that connects us as human beings?" Putting this another way, "What is it that we all share?"
Alicia,
I like your examples in response to the first question.
