A STORYTELLER’S POWER

Our stories paint a vital picture of what is happening in the world. They hold a mirror up to the world to show in glaring light the truth. Truths. That makes storytelling necessary. Creative expression necessary. And whatever form feels right for you is the right one. 

Write about how you’re feeling, what you’re seeing, what you wish for, what you won’t stand for anymore. Write essays, poems, novels, screenplays, and podcast scripts. Get your story out there, or just release it to the page. It’s necessary.

“The power of storytelling is exactly this: to bridge the gap where everything else has crumbled.” - Paulo Coelho

I don’t believe everything has crumbled. Not at all. I do believe we’re on shaky ground, so we must tend to those gaps now.
