| SHARE YOUR STORY! |
|
|
|
Stories are the fabric of our social lives. We live in stories all day long; we use stories to organise the chaos of our lives. We dream of stories and we tell them when we meet with others; stories make us feel less alone. Some stories need a lot of courage to be told and, if shared, they can be the lenses for our listeners to re-discover themselves, provoking an inner transformation and possible social change.
SHARE YOUR OWN STORY! |

GET INSPIRED!
Each of us is a storyteller. We perceive ourselves through stories, we give meaning to our lives through stories, we like to appear to others through stories. As ‘time’ is less and less, ‘things’ more and more, relations thinner and thinner, our stories are slowly disappearing. Certainly for others, we have no more stories. Categories have replaced them: easy, efficient, neat. I have many nightmares, but certainly living among beings without stories is one of them. My plea today is for reading less news, less theory, less mails, less sms, and returning to our novels, to our poetry, to our letters, to our grandmothers, and to ourselves for more stories. This alone will not save the world, but maybe the word should spread out that we are not looking for salvation.
(Brunilda Pali, 2016)
