There are countless stories scattered in every corner of the world, told in books or around kitchen tables; hidden under the hoods of sages; engraved on the faces of mountains; written or typed or drawn in every form. People are storytellers. Our lives are joined through the sharing of our stories. Behind every story is a teller, behind each teller is a tradition, and traditions trace back and merge and twine together.
