Storytelling. Arguably the second-oldest profession in the world.
Safe and warm around a fire, thirsts and hungers all sated, what do we do?
What have we always done?
We share stories.
Stories connect people. People who’ve never met and the people with whom we share our lives.
Stories connect those who came before, with those who will come after. Across generations, turning passing acquaintances into lifelong friends.
Stories connect information to emotions, twisting them together into memories, carrying lessons, and warnings, and wisdom.
Stories are powerful tools. Stories are universal.
I love stories.
