On Episode 50, I take a repreive from the dark places of grief, as I mourn the passing of one of my oldest friends, Stu from the land of the Mighty Mighty Square, my dear brother from another... and I reflect on one of the greatest gifts that we can offer to another person, one that doesn't cost much, but how can you quantify the power of a selfless act of love? Now this is something that we often take for granted... the filling of the cups.

If we make the error of serving ourselves first and worrying others after the fact, how can we hope to persevere?

This was something that Stu used pontificate on about as it pertained to me... he claimed that I was holding back, he told me pointedly during one of last conversations... "that I was not enunicating fully" he argued that I wasn't using my full voice (I get it now).

So, as a hat tip to my man Stu, I'm expanding on an element of storytelling that speaks to another instance of... the filling of the cups with a reading of a piece entitled: Of Mandates, Manifestations and Echoes, it is an orgin story of sorts, so pull up a seat.
