"If you want your children to be bright, tell them fairy tales; if you want them to be brilliant, tell them more fairy tales." --Albert Einstein
Why Tell Stories Today?
"Meaningful stories are one of the essential ingredients of any culture. Our minds hunger for a good story from the time we are young. It is as if they hold a wisdom in them that our unconscious needs; tales contain certain nutrients that nurture the depths or the soul of a human being. There are parts of us that cannot mature without stories: in this way, they are food. And there a times when a story will heal a wound faster than any poultice. In this way, they are medicine." So begins artist and storyteller Craig Coss's thoughtful reflection on modernity and the powerful art of storytelling.
