With Story, We Face the Infinite
In the realm of mathematics Georg Cantor and Kurt Gödel faced it. But what of creative types? What of writers? Is infinity part of the storyteller's world too?
I claim, with boldness, that it is. The action of translating fleeting, ephemeral thoughts into the corporeal words of story is an act of godlike agency. For when the writer is faced with the expanse of infinite possibilities of potential stories, it's then that the creative forces imbued in the Vulcan furnaces of the storyteller's mind dance in a revelry of celebration. Story creation permits the writer a glimpse at the expanse of infinity. It represents possibilities, and we are a band of thieves on a quest lead by Prometheus to bring the jewels of great story to the written page, the spoken word, the cinema's screen. The infinite ravelment is woven into the stories we create. Give two storytellers the same ingredients and out will come two very different stories. The infinite is universal, the stories we create are how we instantiate it. Alone against the infinite expanse, we choose the possibilities and share it with the world in the form of story. Face infinity and create story!
