I’m not sure when I started to love the story as much as I do. But the “story” is the backbone of our culture. We live by the story. We hear them. We tell them. The story is our connection to everything and everyone. Past, present and future.
These days, I scour my mind for invented stories. Some that arose in the human psyche at one time or another. Something that will have meaning to someone else. I rejoice in using prose to convey these ideas from one person to the next. It is our being. Our common thread. The thing that has meaning.
From this, we learn.
And from this, we move forward.

There so much in a story. Everything.
