A good story speaks to the heart and knows how to open magical doors, from which our potentials and talents emerge. It liberates ingenuity, frees the mind, and puts wings on the dreams and the future, where the young will be the directors.
Other than feeding the body, young people need to be nourished in a more intimate sphere, one that is fed by stories, symbols and significance. They need to grow in all their facets, through encountering life, taking in the best that each culture has to offer.
