The wind carries every word
Ever spoken
Every syllable of love, hate, and poetry
There are so many stories around us
Because eventually the words became crowded
And they had to go somewhere
So some went into the rain
Some went into the sea
Some took refuge in the trees
Others in the sound of wind-chime
And we can sense them
These stories
We always have
Confused?
Here's an easy example
I think you and I and everyone else
Know at least one song
With far more words than its lyrics contain
Because music
Holds more stories than anything else
At least that's what I've come to believe
A single song can have a different meaning
For a thousand people
And not only do we find our own stories in these songs
We find other's as well
A song can capture emotion
We can't express
And that means a lot to us
So now that you know you are capable of finding stories
Look for them in places outside of music
Look for them in thunderstorms
And teardrops
Look for them in city streets
And nervous hands
See them in the eyes of the people
It doesn't matter who
We are all human
And finally
Acknowledge these stories
Take or create a picture
Say "I understand" or "I love you"
Gaze beyond the surface
Share your story
