The power of storytelling has always captured my imagination through image and word. Stories make claims on our hearts and minds by making order out of the chaos of life. It gives structure to our human experience and places a narrative in time. We tell stories in order to make meaning of life and what we perceive to be happening in the moment, a single thread in the bigger narrative of life. Stories that reveal something of ourselves and our world rather than conceal connect us with others and help build communities that are authentic, full of meaning and truth. I came across this ancient book that tells a story with images and symbols and wonder what wisdom it might hold. Something of a daily journal or information, something important enough to give it this shape and form and somehow an ancient story finding its way through time into the modern digital age.
