| Fragments
of Story
That`s
what the true story-teller should be: a great guide, a clear
mind, who can walk a silver line in hell or madness. Dante
chose Virgil. I would choose Just, or the Buddha, or Lao
Tsu, or Homer.
Aphorisms
and Fragments from 'The Joy of story-telling.'by Ben Okri
We
are all wounded inside in some way or other. We all carry
unhappiness within us for some reason or other Which is
why we need a little gentleness and healing from one another.
Healing in words, and healing beyond words. Like gestures.
warm gestures. Like friendship, which will always be a mystery.
Like smile, which someone describe as the shortest distance
between two people.
