a Sonder Begins

Posted on the 10 January 2016 by Rarasaur @rarasaur

At this very moment, as you read these words, someone on the other side of the world is reading them with you.

And earlier today, while you were at the grocery store, or work, or church- someone else was with you.

Maybe you spoke to them directly, maybe you didn't. Maybe you left a comment here that they read, or waved them in front of you in line, or squished up your legs in a pew so they could get by.

Maybe they just noticed your name on the Quarterlies, but either way- in their large, multi-faceted, complex life, you just had a bit role. You are a character in their life story- as I am in yours.

Welcome to the Sonder Files.

Every story offered here by my guest dinos, which I will share over the next couple of weeks, is written to this theme.

I asked each to write a story where I was a passing character or thought, since that is a center point of reference for the readers here- but feel free to take it further. If one of my guests was a passing character or thought in your life, write your own post and link it back. I'll include it at the bottom of the posts.

If you have a story where my story crosses in, there's still time for your words to be shared here, and they are welcome. Don't say I didn't invite you.

To my guest dinos- I am so thankful you participated, and so heartwarmed to know how our lives intersect.

To my Best Beloveds- Wheel out the welcome wagon, we have stories to read! The first starts tomorrow. Thank you for being the best thing ever, always.
