Storytelling is an art
There are many ways to do it
Singing
Preaching
Playing an instrument
Dancing
Drawing
Painting
Writing
Prose
Poetry (heh)
And the one thing they all have in common
Is that
They all
Describe emotions
Not just situations
And the stories they tell
Are portrayed
Without words
Or manipulating them
(That's called connotation, by the way)
Each story is its own
Different each time it is repeated or read
And interpreted each day it is spread
Over teacakes and chipped manicures
Over paper cups of water
Cans of Coca-Cola or Pepsi
Every day is a new day
And a new story
Yes, I know, very random. Sue me.
