Do with a story like that?

On the way back, I was listening to a Krista Tippett interview of Jeff Chu. He spoke of his great grandfather, who was accompanied much of his life by two spirits, with whom he spoke daily. When his great grandfather decided to join the Chinese Southern Baptist church, the spirits became furious with him and when he did get baptized, they left and never spoke with his great grandfather again. Jeff said, “What am I supposed to do with a story like that?”

From this I see that one language of conversation is story. Story tells us things that require us to process—to work over and let work us. Call it “story conversation.”
