Through the Door Cuentos de Casa: Stories and Poems with a Generous Sprinkle of Spanish

by Flora Gamez Grateron

Overview

As we go about our daily lives, we create stories, weave poems, make magical moments, at times without realizing it. Some moments in time are worth revisiting while others are better left unexplored. However, those could be the ones that need further scrutiny and may hide deeper, more important themes in life. Our stories are like peering through an old-fashioned kaleidoscope, reflecting images of bits of colored glass constantly shifting, changing, creating new designs and patterns. Our memories are kaleidoscopes. Our stories are kaleidoscopes. Our lives are kaleidoscopes. So, what's your story? Use the prompts after each story or poem to journal your story as you make your way through life. Our journey is not yet over.
