The Story is Bigger than it Seems
Oluseun Anikulapo Kuti, commonly known as Seun Kuti, is a Nigerian musician, and the youngest son of legendary afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti. Seun leads his father’s former band Egypt 80. He said this when he was interviewed at Jazz Fest a few years ago:
“Never think you are more successful than the next guy, because you don’t know where he or you are in the story.”
I thought of this quote this morning because our version of the story can get wound very tight and seem to constrict the very flow of life’s blood.
Loosen up.
