Strangely Syllabic Sustenance


Strangers know less than what we tell them…and less than half of what they see. Or so the story goes…

A story that isn’t told well loses all of its magnificence to the untrained or uninterested audience.

If we listen, each voice we hear tells its own complicated and fascinating story; its own incredible tale of sorrow and joy, passion and pain, sunrise and sunset.

Often stories that are told well are those that are artfully woven with crisp and clear details, with waves of flowing words that awaken each of our senses.

For me, however, sometimes the best part of a story is the part that remains hidden and untold. The truth is always out there waiting for someone to discover it. When my imagination is given free reign to run wild as it pleases, every breath becomes clouded with double meanings and things are never quite as simple as they appear.

Truth is truly stranger than fiction, and fiction is as fiction does.
