“Priest, upon awakening, caught me sleeping.” The Best Six-Word Memoirs Of The Week

Print

Religion has been a presence on this earth for as long as 30,000 years. Systems of faith and worship govern many lives and even effect the day-to-day of non-believers. This week, many Memoirs were seeped in religion. They described a way of life (“Faith, Family, Farms. Everything I need.”) and explored the religion of ancients (“Her divine shoulders, spine: Aphrodite personified.”).

This makes sense, really. As Sixers, we are storytellers. And religions are built on the power of narrative. —Gilmarie Brioso
