Things a man ought to know...



I think ... it's good that I am still doing this. I doubt anyone else will ever tell my story and not to be too conceited - but it's worth telling. Not everything has to be an epic saga where battles are fought and won and lost, where pirates find their treasures and dragons burn their foes. Someone needs to tell the everyday stories as well and all their bits of overlapping narrative. There's magic in that. Because it's in the listener, and for each and every ear it will be different, and it will affect them in ways we can never predict. From the mundane to the profound. You may tell a fable that takes up residence in someone's soul, becomes their blood and self and purpose. That tale will move them and drive them and who knows what they might do because of it, because of your words. That our role, our gift. Do not forget that... there are many kinds of magic, after all.
