My show’s title comes from the William Blake line about how you can see the entire world in a grain of sand. I believe that. Always have. And I know that ordinary sounds and vernacular speech hold the very truths of existence. All stories of merit—not simple anecdotes—contain hints of the universal. And I’ll go anywhere for a story and listen to anyone, and I do believe these stories exist everywhere and with everyone. I’ve heard it said that not everyone has a story. I just don’t believe that. Sometimes it’s hard to extract that story. Sometimes the teller has a hard time framing their own story. But the story’s there nonetheless. Even those who have lived the most solitary of existences.Charles McGuigan 2022 Ciencias Sociales
