The Power of Story
Each day we are faced with a new “story.” Yesterday’s story is done. Tomorrow’s is an open book. But yesterday’s story holds meaning for the story that unfolds in our today.
Some days our stories are rich with love, adventure, reconnection, and beauty. Others arrive with a crushing, gut-wrenching fist to the gut—heart-shattering and life-changing all at once. And on those days when our stories pierce our hearts and shroud our souls in darkness, we often ask ourselves, “Why? Why this story?”
These “why” questions swirl, shift and tumble within our consciousness. As we try to piece together an answer, other stories emerge. Stories of those whose lives have intersected with our own. Stories from yesterday and stories from long ago. And it is within these shared stories that we discover and awaken to the answers we ask ourselves in our todays.
