Moving from the flow of childhood into the hard lines of adulthood isn't easy, especially when you don't know what to do with your life or when the thing you love to do doesn't appear to have commercial value. How do you find your place and your purpose?

This is Sorani's story.

Pause for a bit. Put your feet up. Take a breath. And join me for a waffle-free moment.

The eternal question of where we go when we die... Maybe we hang around for a bit. Maybe our ancestors stay close. Maybe they join us around the fireside. Maybe they join us for morning coffee in the sun. Maybe they're close enough to talk to...

Either way, next time you fill your mug with something delicious, fill one for someone you have loved and lost. You never know. They might join you.

If they do, put your feet up and enjoy a waffle-free moment in their company.

This is a weird story. I get it. It's about settling when you should have chosen more, growing out of what you chose, and working hard to break free. It's not easy. Breaking free from what you know takes the kind of courage that changes you as a human being. The battle is worth the prize. Always.

With that in mind, fill your mug with something delicious, put your feet up, and join me through this rather random tale.

When life is hard, challenging, tricky, confusing, or downright odd (most often, for reasons we can't fathom), the root of all our issues might have their origins in another life and time entirely!

With that in mind, be kind today, then put your feet up, take some time out, and join me for a waffle-free moment.

Sometimes, no matter how wild, weird, wonderful, unexpected, and strange a story sounds, sometimes... juuuuust sometimes, it's true.

Think about it this way: if we only believe the stories that make sense to us, we miss out on a lot of magic in the world.

This story is about the hunt for true stories, and what happened when our interpid traveller found one.

Put your feet up, take some time out, and join me for a waffle-free moment.

This story was inspired by a little childhood comment that changed the direction of my life. I wish I'd been smarter as a kid. I wish I'd not let the words from a silly old man sink into my soul. As adults, we need to ward against the things we say to young people. And young people... you need to ignore just about everything stupid old people say.

With all that said...today is today. Make the magical most of it.

Time for your waffle-free moment. Put your feet up, fill your mug with something delicious, and enjoy.

It's the greatest question of all time! I think the answer is as simple as it is complicated. Or maybe it's not. This is Narooli's answer and how he came to find it.
