The Gospel of Story
Monday, June 07, 2004I think God likes stories. I think that's what we're all about...perhaps, now, I have stumbled upon a secret, the meaning of life...that we are here to create stories.
I don't mean by writing, but by living. This is a story of a man who combines his love of movies and books to create a website. There is the story of a woman who works in Washington DC, who writes wonderfully. This is the story of a book lover who used to live on a boat.
Everything we do is a story. We breathe story, we comfort ourselves with story, we dream to create stories that are about-us-but-not, about vampires and dragons and spaceships and romances that work for real. Where good over comes evil, where neighbors stick up for you, where ture love can be salvation. We have not stopped creating myths.
Every day is high comedy and low, drama and erotica, mystery and horror and sweetness. Every day is the gospel of us.
