Story deconstructed #01*
A story is like a taco meal!
• gathering all those food ingredients you need and then making a taco >>
• eating, munching, smiling and really sensing all the flavours and textures >
• ending up with that sensational plate of yummy mess >
• sitting back and appreciating the experience;
• considering seconds and wondering about desert, hmmm.
Disclaimer: Soz if you don’t like tacos, even if you leave off the cheese and substitute green lentils for the meat.
