And there they go...stories of a woman who predicted my future, or a $100 parking ticket, or the beauty of diverse nudity, or a kind man with a severe stutter, or a profesora de espanol fantastico, or a Gatsby-esq beach community, or a family tree that tuned into a priceless life history, or the same 2 Andrew Bird songs that make me feel alive on my 10 minute drive to work, or a simple stranger's smile, or the nerve to say no, or the courage to say yes, or the very moment when i knew that. . .
But I feel calm as these stories float adrift from the pressure to be recorded-to be held still in space and time. When the time is right, these stories will find a place for safe preservation. Until then, I'll just carry them close, bound to my heart, woven into my step, payed forward to those I reach with my smile and soul.
Until the stories surface for your reading, take a look at this:

I'm tempted to say, given the picture and the list of things you haven't written out yet, that life is as usual for you. Yes?
what's "that life" implying, tim?
"I'm tempted to say that life is as usual for you" = "I'm tempted to say life is normal for you at the moment". The "that" is a semi-superfluous preposition, I do believe.
hmm... yes, gotcha... so you're saying i'm normal, ey? haha... i think i'm starting to feel that way. whatever 'normal' is, anyway.
No no, I'm saying that the picture and the events described seem to be the normal life of Rachael Maddox. Right?
haha okay, the list definitely contains normal happenings, the picture, for the most part :)
