Storytelling, independent of literary rules and grammar…
““Storytelling, independent of literary rules and grammar conventions, is the ability to build, play, experiment, sculpt, weave with words, sounds, texture and silence is a vessel. And that is inherent in you. If it is what you've been entrusted to gift the world with, it will survive anything. I’ve lived multiple lives in one. stage performer. motorbike racer. teacher. ordained minister. devotee. media personality. corporate baddie. missionary. activist. scholar. student skydiver. aviation aficionado. But at the core of it all, the thread that moves through and connects my lives is storytelling. The careful, precise use of personal narrative and autoethnography to challenge and reimagine, to mirror the world in ways that bring tension and friction towards freedom. Technology is rapidly expanding — the only anchor is the craft itself — the thing that's always been within you. Whether capitalism rewards you for this is a different story. All I know is that this outlasts any system that purports to dominate””
