Stories are more fundamental to us all than ever before. At best they are unforgettable, life changing, illuminate meaning, plant permanent wisdom, and are forever worth sharing and protecting. Telling a timeless tale is a discipline, like serving an old family recipe, or discovering and dividing treasure, or performing a magic trick to touch imaginations with love, hope, disbelief, and belief that the impossible is indeed possible for everyone, everywhere, always.
