Story is a powerful and clarifying human invention.
Stories do not give instruction, they do not explain
how to love a companion or how to find God.
They offer, instead, patterns of sound and association,
of event and image…
It is through story that we embrace
the great breadth of memory,
that we distinguish what is true,
and that we may glimpse, at least occasionally,
how to live without despair.
