Everything begins with the impulse to tell a story. This is not a luxury, but an essential part of our genetic makeup. We need stories. They give us a context; they locate us within ourselves, our society, and our global village. In some cultures, like that of the ancient Kalahari Bushmen, a person's story is considered his greatest treasure, his most sacred resource. Without stories, how would we live? In fact, it is only by developing personal and cultural mythologies that we are able to lead our lives.
