We need storytellers today more than ever. It seems tolerance has been abandoned out of fear, spirited debate muddied into inflexible waters, and the unfamiliar interpreted as inadequate.
Telling truthful stories demands a rare and delicate vulnerability that encourages questions, introspection, and compassion.
We’ve lost patience with one another, swapped community for touchscreens, starved real connection, and misinterpreted hearing with true listening.
To listen to someone, TRULY listen, is to show a reverence for their soul. We’re saying you MATTER to me.
We tell stories because they inform us about the people who came before — how they thought, felt, and loved.
We tell stories to inform us of who we were and more importantly who we can still become.
We tell stories to ease our loneliness. To remind ourselves that we belong. That no matter what we’re going through someone somewhere understands.
