There were many such stories, and he understood just how important they were, and listened with patience and with respect. A life without stories would be no life at all. And stories bound us, did they not, one to another, the living to the dead, people to animals, people to the land?

-Alexander McCall Smith, In the Company of Cheerful Ladies

Mmm yeah. I was just at the Norval Morriseau exhibit at the National Gallery this afteroon and there's this really cool 2-panel piece with a grandfather and a grandson (Copper Thunderbird himself). Anyway, the Grandad is large and bright and has all kinds of animals crawling all over him and the the little boy has one bird alighting on his head - like his first story landing. That's probably a freaky description, but I promise you it's a cool piece of art!
