The Power of Story

This desire to share with you begins after I began to contemplate the power of story. I told a community of students my thoughts on the matter, and there are moments when I would say things like 'we are all responsible for telling our children the stories of our youth, our ancestors;' and I would feel power in those words. Actually it was more like I felt power in the moment those words chose me to speak them. I did not travel this path mindlessly, and I do not continue this journey without intention. There is power in story. This begins mine.
