What do we learn about life - our life - by reading stories?
EVERYTHING!
How to fight dragons. How to survive in the wilderness. How to be still. How to wait. How to love. How to be sad. How to dance. How to kiss. How to cheer. How to "boo" and "hiss". How to cry. How to give. How to take. How to create. How to apologize. How to hide. How to destroy. How to ride a horse. How to destroy a species. How to classify and subjugate. How to lie. How to steal. How to tune a piano. How to feed a cat. How to feel. How to see. How to hear. How to know.
How to honor ourselves.
How to honor another.
How to be a hero or heroine.
How to allow someone else their turn.
How to tell and be the truth.
The story? It is enough.
