Stories.

A story for me is a way of telling a Truth.

Truth in this sense is not a scientific fact. Truth is a glimpse of life. A recognition might be a better word. A revelation.

A story is a limited look at a particular set of persons at a particular time and place. But it says something about life, it reaches something under the surface that we connect with, something that we understand as a universal. We see something greater than us as individuals. We connect and understand.

Art reveals a general Truth through a presentation of particular fragments.

So does life.
