In the Heart of the World
July 11, 2007
I admit I took a short break from receiving the daily story from storypeople.com during my ‘must-keep-the-inbox-clean-at-all-costs’ phase. But, as my resolve has softened and my response time has slowed, causing a jam-up in my inbox once again, I’ve signed up once more to receive my daily dose of story.
Here’s today’s:
In the heart of the world there is a place that holds the secret names of the rocks & the trees & all the children of the earth & around it gather women & men who hold it dear & each night they stand together to keep it safe for as long as it takes til morning comes & no matter what you have been told, this will always be so, in the heart of the world.
I know we have a tendency to deride ’stories’ in pursuit of higher truths; but ’stories’ like this one remind me that sometimes we discover far more truth in what we hope is true than in what we can empirically discover around us.
