I used to hear stories without hearing a single word.
Epics, sagas, memoirs.
Of courage, love, pain.
A shaft of white light cutting through the prison of darkness to free the old lady.
A glint of steel in the eyes of an tribal girl who refused to give in to modernisation.
And every time I heard a story, I froze.
I had to pass it on just the way I heard it,
I had to capture it all before they were lost forever.
I had to stay true to how miracles unfolded suddenly, without preamble,in the infinity of space and time.
So I took the easy way out.
Or you could say that I did it the only way I could.
I taught myself to tell stories without saying a single word.
That’s my story.
Rather, the ongoing memoir,
Of a split second storyteller.
