“To survive, you must tell stories.” – Umberto Eco, The Island of the Day Before
What a valuable quote. I am so grateful that we have the stories of survival that were handed down, whether through art, song, or storytelling. We easily lose so much, but the thousands of stories of survival that have lasted lifetimes inspire me deeply. How courageous so many men and women have been in the past, are today, and will be in the future. So many mere humans have make sparks in the darkness, light up the world in their time, and will continue to light the hearts of millions. These are the things that make me feel grateful to be alive.
