“I felt like there was an infinity within our affinity, that our connection was so deep and fathomless that there was no way we could be bound by something as mundane as dawn. We were our own suns”
― Love in Colour: Mythical Tales from Around the World, Retold
― Love in Colour: Mythical Tales from Around the World, Retold
“Stories are masks of God.
That's a story, too, of course. I made it up, in collaborations with Joseph Campbell and Scheherazade, Jesus and the Buddha and the Brother's Grimm.
Stories show us how to bear the unbearable, approach the unapproachable, conceive the inconceiveable. Stories provide meaning, texture, layers and layers of truth.
Stories can also trivialize. Offered indelicately, taken too literally, stories become reductionist tools, rendering things neat and therefore false. Even as we must revere and cherish the masks we variously create, Campbell reminds us, we must not mistake the masks of God for God.
So it seemes to me that one of the most vital things we can teach our children is how to be storytellers. How to tell stories that are rigorously, insistently, beautifully true. And how to believe them.”
― The Man on the Ceiling
