Narrative theology # 1

And I said to him:

Are there answers to all of this?

And he said:

The answer is in a story

and the story is being told.

And I said:

But there is so much pain

And she answered, plainly:

Pain will happen.

Then I said:

Will I ever find meaning?

And they said:

You will find meaning

where you give meaning.

The answer is in a story

and the story isn’t finished.

-Padraig O Tuama, ‘In The Shelter - Finding a home in the world’
