Found this wonderful quote on one of the articles on the Avalon Web site (see preceding entry):
“Stories are alchemy. They are medicine, healing, mystery, paradox, power, and many other things, allowing us to feel, taste, touch, hear and see the stories around us. They are chaos, order, complexity. Stories are fractals. They are necessary, basic and dangerous in that they can’t be controlled by our striving intellects. They are the container, the elements, the process and the trigger of transformation.”
