Stories are essential to our personal and collective development, so narrative is a vital part of any enterprise that seeks to understand what it means to be human. In narrative methods science and the humanities merge, generating insights and revealing meanings that are intensely personal, broadly relevant, and inevitably fluid. This, I think, is the nature of truth.

I like Hanah Arendt's definition of storytelling: an activity that "reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." (Men in Dark Times, 1973, p. 107). 

I hope you'll check out my blog, volunteer for the parenting study, and let me know what you're thinking!
