The Big Story Falls Apart

There are many stories – the stories we hear from others, the stories that we make ourselves, and the stories we live inside of. I have told stories that I felt needed to be told, about striving and letting go, about hurt and healing, about going and coming back, and about holding onto purpose.

But all those stories depend on the continuities, and what transpires when the continuities begin to fail us? This book is about the big story unravelling, the one that holds all the necessary certainties, the certainties I wanted and yet found wanting. I talk my way through, remembering, recounting, rejecting, resolving. Tell me there is method in this, because the days now seem to be singing and full of joy.
