Stories are attention

If the truth is stranger than fiction, then the art of storytelling is not to make something up, but rather to really see what is there. Reality, if you look close enough, is almost always hilarious.

Storytelling is about providing context and meaning. It's a discipline of attention, a way of helping others understand the world around them.
