Tell Me a Story

Have you ever noticed that people are made up of stories? I mean think about it; when we have a good conversation we're basically sharing stories, when we want to know something about someone we ask for a story, when you tell someone about a relationship you do it through stories. At least, that's how it is for me.

I've heard life compared to a book. I think the better comparison for life is a library of them. Some are better-written than others, others are obviously more loved than the rest. Some have bright illustrations, some mere sketches, others no pictures at all.


I think stories help us connect on a level that we can't reach through mere question and answer session. When someone tells you a story, they open their world to you. And that creates a fellowship. People are made up of stories. Stories are the basis for true connection between two people. So I suppose you could say stories make up our lives, and our lives give us more stories. All we have to do is share them.
