Once Upon a Times

January 6, 2008

Maybe we’re made of stories. I mean Once Upon a Time kinds of stories. Certain stories resonate with us, continuing to ring through our bodies no matter how old we are. Think of the Old and New Testaments, the Koran, the Buddhist Tripitaka. The stories in these books have inspired beliefs and passions strong enough to induce people to kill. Whatever the level of historical accuracy these stories have, the point is the passions they arouse. They are perfect testaments to the power of Once Upon a Time.
