For many, a picture may have more meaning than a thousand words, as the saying goes, but a picture cannot provide the nuance contained in those thousand words. For example, the photograph here shows a woman in the process of painting a mural on a large surface. But it does not tell you who she is, why she is painting it, what the mural means, or where the mural can be seen. Only words can do that.
“Stories create community, enable us to see through the eyes
of other people, and open us to the claims of others.”
– Peter Forbes, photographer and author
The true story of every person in this world is not the story you see,
the external story. The true story of each person
is the journey of his or her heart.
— John Eldredge
