Mysterious and mighty stories

Ben Okri
July/August 2022 (Vol. XXXV, No. 7)
It is easy to forget how mysterious and mighty stories are. They do their work in silence, invisibly. They work with all the internal materials of the mind and self. They become part of you while changing you.
~ Ben Okri in BIRDS OF HEAVEN
