One definition of renaissance is renewal of life, vigor, interest, etc.; rebirth; revival.
The stories gathered here are expressions of that idea. Written at different times, for different reasons, they all share the same theme. I think the idea of renewal is an important part of life. We are always looking for ways to better ourselves. Sometimes, we are not aware of it and we receive a message from an unexpected place. Sometimes, the inspiration comes from a long forgotten memory. Whatever the case, we are given an opportunity that can easily slip by in a momentary encounter or even a dream.
These stories may seem bittersweet, but to me they also represent hope.
The award-winning story The Forgotten Well was selected for the Florida Writer’s Association annual collection. I feel particularly honored for winning as the entrants were judged by peer authors.
It is very important to save our memories because some time our old memories give us wonderful lesson. you have given us useful information about this. I have really liked this post.
