"Story is the mother of us all. First we wrap our lives in language and then we act on who we say we are. We proceed from the word into the world and make a world based on our stories."
The world we live in is the world we have created by the stories we tell ourselves individually and collectively. Both personal, family and community history is made up of remembered stories that we have told ourselves over the years. We make decisions about our lives based on the stories we believe to be true. As creative leaders in our society, what stories are you telling in your writing and painting? The stories that you and I choose to tell help shape the future of our world.
