This volume brings together seven short stories written between 2001 and 2010, published in various formats over the years and subsequently republished on AutoRicerca in 2018. Each of these stories was written—and often told—with the specific intention of opening the minds and hearts of those who read or listen to them. Telling a story is a bit like planting a seed: from the smallest of seeds, a majestic tree can grow, and from the smallest of stories, one day, a person (or even humanity!) with a magnificent spirit may blossom.
