The Story Connection

"We live by stories --our own and those of others, real and imagined. It's how we relate and stay connected on the most personal and intimate level. We need stories, the story process, the maintain our balance and our identity. We don't think of it this way because we don't have to. We just do it. Story, the story process, is the active ingredient in all meaningful social interaction. Believe it or not, it's one of our deepest social needs."
