Sometimes those reflections are large and complex – movies, novels, national celebrations – and sometimes they are tiny, fleeting things a birthday card, a get-together with colleagues at the end of the week, tiny tokens of thanks or welcome. In a society such as ours, where much of that storytelling process is undertaken by others, we are lucky enough to see our own stories blended with those of others and reflected back to us through the work of artists, writers, performers and many others. We record them in moments of celebration and desperation, moments of meeting and parting, rites of passage and times for reflection and recognition. We tell those stories in countless different ways, through film, TV, the arts and media, through ritual and festivals. We tell each other – and ourselves – stories about who we are, what we believe and feel, what’s right and wrong, how the world works and where to find our place in it.
