These eleven short stories help you contemplate wisdom of the ages in modern language and settings. Some are published here for the first time and others are compiled from books already offered individually. Originally presented as stage plays, Mark has adapted them for reading in the way he would direct them on stage. This lends them easily to reading aloud and links are provided to some of the scripts for groups to read aloud together. Some are full of funny characters and witty dialogue. Others show the pathos of life and death, the passage of time and the struggles to relate with one another. All the stories entertain and lead in thinking about life in the metropolis, the forest, the small town and on the farm. Timeless ideas connect you with ancestors, ancient history and the mystery beyond the grave. Themes include death, generosity, Love, family, growing up, healing, community, making art, faith, terrorism, and the meaning of Christmas.
