Storytelling gives the writer a voice and engages the reader’s heart and mind it helps us make sense of the world, the situation. “Storytelling,” he explains, “is a universal method for making sense of the world, and as the world grows more complex, storytelling will become increasingly important.” He is also right.
Through writing their stories and mine, we learn about our past, current, and future selves we get an intimate glimpse of our joy, loneliness, sacrifice, anxiety, heartbreak, anger, fear, guilt, surprise, and all the nuanced emotions that make us human.Īnother colleague had written about why storytelling is important.
It’s an invitation for them to read, observe, dissect, understand, feel, and write. Storytelling is what excites my students the most. “Everyone has a story to tell, and everyone wants to tell it,” a colleague once said. Chopin’s Ballade in F Major opens stately with warm choral tones but soon turns torment-like, embodying the violent waves of emotions that only a good story can convey. Fauci and Rand Paul’s heated jabs about the pandemic because by then, the piano music, the subtle, delicate sounds of innocence had transcended me to the daisies in the meadow. I’d been dozing off, phone in my hand, trying to keep up with the news. I woke up when I heard the opening chords of Chopin’s Ballade in F Major.
