Every person is born into life as a blank page and every person leaves life as a full book.

Meaning drives us from despair to wonder, from confusion to clarity, from hesitance to confidence. And the only place to find meaning is in the importance of small things.

Story is the mother of us all, for we become who we say we are.

In the midst of overwhelming noise and distraction, the voice of story is calling us to remember our true selves.

History is what scholars and conquerors say happened; story is what it was like to live on the ground.

The spiritual journey is what the soul is up to while we attend to daily living.

Despair is our chance to wrestle with fire and come through.
