“Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign. But stories can also be used to empower, and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people. But stories can also repair that broken dignity.”
― Chimamanda Adichie
What story has helped to heal you?
I guess that the story that has helped to heal me is Thoreau’s tales of his time spent alone in the countryside. Whenever I think of what he experienced there and how he expressed what happened to him while there, or perhaps, how it changed his future life, I recognize that learning that we can become so close to the natural world if we so chose, it allows us to get the understanding of the reality of where we are on this planet and who we really are in the scheme of being part of our planet.
