We invite you to respond to the story invitation that closes this chapter. With your permission, these little stories will be posted on the website for 30 days after our receiving them. Depending on the volume of response, we cannot guarantee all submissions will be immediately posted, but it is our intent to share many different voices responding to the same question. This is a place for honoring the voice of humanity; please write respectfully of your experiences and the people who have shared them. You have a contribution limit of 200 words in this dialogue box.

Significant events become woven into our ongoing stories as we decide how to gauge their impact on our lives. We remember where we were, what we felt like, how it sounded, how it smelled, and what our reactions were. We compare notes with other people affected by these events, sometimes altering our details and merging our stories. Used as teaching tools, the stories that emerge can help us avoid repeating the worst outcomes and reinforce the best outcomes.

What would you put in the earth as a treasure for the future to find?
Let's start there.

Insert your story here...and please remember there is a 1500 character (approximately 200 word) limit. Thank you.
