"Usually I go for walks and start telling myself the story. I'm imagining and ordering the story, both at once. As I tell it, I get more and more familiar with it. Then, when I sit down to write, it's almost like taking dictation."

- Richard Wagamese, author/journalist/storyteller

Read more about Richard's new book, Medicine Walk, in the March/April 2015 issue of The Costco Connection

Move to the Music

"I move to the music.
I've moved past the act of thinking consciously about it.
I move because I muse. Music is motion, and movement is the expression of its rhythm.
If we listen together, we move together.
There is a state of motion, a state of rest. Any attempt for middle ground is a borderland of unfulfillment.
 Move."

- Jeff O.
St. Albert, Alberta Canada
