We can only appreciate story through engaging it wholeheartedly, telling it and then reflecting upon it. Does story describe? Does it possibly create as well? Is story simply the only way we have of organising memory? What is the link between language and time? What is your story? Who are you? To what extent is a sense of identity created by the way you talk about yourself? Are you, in fact, a creation of your story or can the story, and thus the ‘you’, be changed? Are you free to change? Then how do you? And what does thinking have to do with language and story? What makes a story powerful? What stories are you paying attention to? Why do we feel so enriched at the end of a story well told?
