Jeff's Journal 2010 - 2018

What is a story?

Well, you know don’t you?

A story is a prevarication of palaver, parsing pronouns, preparing punch lines and peeling parables to pursue public perception of palatable presumption and parody.

Naw. I don’t know what that means either. Just took a stroll through my thesaurus and it sounded good.

A story finds you where you are, but you didn’t know you were there.

A story entices you to travel to a destination for which you had no reservation.

A story welcomes you in, then, with the potency of words, takes you from here to there, from now to then, from the obvious to the possible.

Bil Lepp has mastered the art of storytelling. He is insightful, funny and engaged with his craft.

He will speak here on Sunday.

You will not want to say at some future time, “Oh, I missed him. I wish I had been there.”

Bring someone with you. Tell others about this.

It will be a good day.

Moving to the deeper places,
Jeff
