Well-told, well-written personal stories wield a power we discount at our own peril. Cultures are formed of and understood through individual stories, often intensely personal. It's their specific nature--their unique individuality--that lets us find our way across the things that divide us, things as tiny as how we point to something (do you point with your hand, your forefinger, your chin, your lips?), and things that yawn wider than the Grand Canyon (race, religion, politics).
