Every human life begins as a miracle, and every human life ends as ashes or as flesh rotting in the earth or the sea. In between is life searching for meaning—in joy, sorrow, conflict, love, transformation, spirit, sin, glory, failure and achievement.
That is why every human story is worthy of being told. Artists—writers, dancers, musicians, visual artists, filmmakers—bundle these stories into fictions of human truth that let us see ourselves for what we are and what we could be. They put us on trial and, at the same time, let us off the hook.
They remind us that it’s possible to live up to the miracle that started us on our journeys jn the first place.
