Storytelling

Storytelling is a means to understand life

To give meaning to its absurdity

And make sense of our reality

To share someone’s strife

Connecting through words on pages

Traveling through time and space

Narratives that show life’s beauty

And share with us their tragedy

Allowing us to see into the authors’ souls

So we can draw strength from their vulnerability

And dare to dream to escape from reality

So we can build our own fantasy

For we all write our own story

As we go through life’s hurdles

And brave them courageously

Believing we are the heroes

When we are only the side characters

In other peoples’ journey

As they go on telling their own tales of adventures

Chronicles of epic quests and passionate love sagas

While we keep wondering about the purpose

Of our own autobiography
