Meaning
This suggests that stories matter because they meet people where they are, not where theory expects them to be. It can be read as a defense of storytelling as a way of carrying insight, comfort, or challenge exactly when it is needed. In a period of loss, doubt, or transition, it lands as a quiet explanation for why one story can feel unexpectedly necessary.
