Leigh Allison WilsonEvery story is true and a lie. The true part of this one is: Love and the memory of love can't be drowned. The lie part is that this is a good thing.
About This Quote
This quote is very profound. It is full of so many truths. The first truth it emphasizes is that every story is true. Every single story.
The story of you and me, the story of the world, the story of our lives, the story of our time on this planet. They are all true in their own way. Every story has a beginning, middle, and end.
The end of every story is its end because it has run out of what it can tell us about itself. It has run out of its own space to work in; it has run out of its own time to make sense; it has run out of its own energy to give us. We know there are other stories to tell, other stories like ours out there somewhere waiting to be told by someone else.
We know that all things are possible because they can't remain static forever. And finally, we know that love cannot be drowned because it's not just one thing in the world that keeps showing up again and again in every story that comes into being. It's not just hope, or love, or good things happening when good things happen.
What keeps showing up in every moment when hope comes to life in every moment when love shows up when it's your turn to have your turn in the world when good things happen is doubt and fear and pain and confusion and loss and hurt and loneliness and despair and death and all these other things that show up when hope arises in every moment when love arises in every moment when good things happen are these other things that show up with them bringing big smiles to faces because they are there too in every single moment when hope shows up in every single moment when love shows up in every single moment when good things happen
