Stories are alive--and shape our personal and collective identities, for better and worse. In Everything Is a Story, award-winning Indigenous author Kaitlin B. Curtice considers how stories take root in our lives like an acorn that grows into an oak tree. Following a story's life cycle, Curtice explores how narratives shape both our inner lives and our broader communities. Which stories should we pass on to future generations--and which can we finally let go? This book invites readers to explore the power of story to liberate or limit us, to build compassion or create division. With gentle insights that speak to people across the spiritual spectrum, Curtice guides us through the art of storytelling as a path toward healing and connection. With contemplative poetry woven throughout and a foreword by Simran Jeet Singh, Everything Is a Story offers a hope-filled framework for reshaping our lives by reclaiming stories of courage, wholeness, and deep-rooted compassion.
