I am inspired by Laura Simms to reflect on the value of a fairy tale. Fairy tales are a gold mine of assistance in the art of living consciously. To go deeply into the layers of these stories which are actually in our own psyches, is to find a gold mine of assistance to remedy the agonies of living and to find inner peace. These journeys represent huge work on the part of the storyteller, who herself is forever altered in the process. Because of her work, others are able to take the journey, tailored to their own needs, liberating themselves.
