I'm sure you've read fairy tale books or, more importantly, read them aloud. The fascinating thing about fairy tale books - I think - is that they convey deep truths in relatively short stories, but often in a hidden or metaphorical form. As a child, I mainly heard the story, but not necessarily the moral or message. As an adult, I now recognise these more readily - and then sometimes resistance stirs in my enlightened thinking, telling me that it cannot be presented in such simple or black-and-white terms. Nevertheless, it is often precisely in their clarity that these messages are so helpful - and sometimes also offensive. If you have the opportunity take a storybook or a fairy tale and read it and let it inspire you. Simplicity is sometimes much more useful than high complexity, which does not make progress due to its diversity.

I wish you an extraordinary day!
