Laura Simms: In the School of Dreams

Ever since I was a child I have been seeking something, listening to the sound of words, drawing sustenance from dreams and resting in the spaces between breathe. Storytelling summoned me. It is what I found to be far more than the sum of its parts. ~ An alchemical reciprocity is engendered by engagement that restores our relationship to compassion, and a sense of being part of the earth. Each image opens into a history of meanings that lets us encounter ourselves, each other, the earth and the invisible world. Ordinary events reveal the magic of the world, and the symbol of myth and fairytale provide instructions for living with profound kindness. A friend of mindfulness and justice, storytelling accesses parts of ourselves we need in order to make peace.
