Dear learners,
be brave and enter the magic world of rivers. But be careful, you are entering the world in which nothing is what you see. Maybe you will be transformed yourself into a character from river fairy tale or folktale. Maybe you could create a new river of your own, or enter the world of a rivers you already know.
You could be a wizard, river, warrior, god or goddesses, or a magician. You could be part-animal or part-giant. Will your story be set in our world, or will you be transported to another land? What river magic will you encounter?
Fairy tales help us break boundaries of time and culture. And fairy tales feed our imaginations. The wondrous is matter of fact in these tales, so we are encouraged to look for wonder in our own lives. We are given permission to see the world as one of possibility.
Every river becomes a sea, and the sea eventually becomes an ocean. We hope that traveling this river was just the beginning of your love and passion for stories and metaphors. Happy journey on.
