Cultures are based on storytelling. Sharing thoughts keeps them alive, and with them, also lives the storyteller. My literature teacher, Dana Stefan, told me that poveste (story in Romanian) is composed of: po - corporeal soul in Taoism, and veste - news. This accentuates the necessity of the soul when narrating. Joy can only be felt when shared and storytelling assures this can happen.

A concept related to telling stories is the Akashic records, containing past, present and future happenings. I pictured it as a fluid mass of ideas (represented by the Lapis lazuli), that we interact with. Our limited understanding (cube) conditions us to perceive ideas in an impure form, so what we understand are projections of ideals (golden granules). Not having the absolute knowledge brings joy as we get to hope, discover, heal and share stories with all the humane aspects.
