Distance. . . is like futurity. A dim vastness is spread before our souls; the perceptions of our mind are as obscure as those of our vision. . . But alas! when we have attained our object, when the distant 'there' becomes the present 'here,' all is changed; we are as poor and circumscribed as ever, and our souls still languish for unattainable happiness.
Story is a relationship between the teller and the listener, a responsibility. After the listening you become accountable for the sacred knowledge that has been shared.
