Have you ever stopped to think about your collection of stories? That rich and diverse stock of narratives that exist, say, in the clothes you have worn. Indeed, our wardrobes absorb all our experiences -- they carry our perfume, and they trail our life journey, uninterrupted. Ah, if only we could capture the stockpile of...
It is worth mentioning at this point the kindness and hospitality of Sicilians who are a welcoming and highly refined people.
