As ordinary human beings we try to imagine what lies ahead. It's what people do. We plan, schedule, coordinate... and then life happens - in all its blooming buzzing confusion. Storytellers Rick Huddle, Janice Alexander, Charles McConnell and Kelly Hoffman share stories crafted to make you feel the delight, the joy, and the longing that accompanies everyday living.
