becoming a storyteller
becoming a storyteller · 
the sound of boats rocking in their berths · the perfume-making process · a bare sea-shell of a cottage · celery and cream cheese · understanding the American West by reading Wallace Stegner · a lavender orchid · burger presses · the main color and markings of an amphibian’s skin produced by three different pigment cells — white, yellow, and brown-black · the plumpness of big, open red roses
· getting away from it all · most fish having a well-developed sense of smell, many have taste buds and can see well, those that swim near the surface even have color vision · forgetting the main dish and vegetables, and having a dessert buffet for dinner · an evenly-lighted room to reduce eyestrain · the masterpieces of your favorite artist · cozy firesides · learning English in fun ways other than workbooks and essays · many happy returns · holly · gliding past fleeting mirror images of yourself · relative dating, in which the order of certain events is determined, used in archaeology unless tied to historical records – where absolute dating can be used · scribomania · the definition of the size of sports balls · a season’s worth of tennis balls · 
a bike ride to the gym · preserving your sanity · acrobatics in the school hallways · soft raspberry tones · ages and eras of history
