People always gather around a good story teller. Indeed, long before modern media provided radio, television, and internet links expanding our experience of community to include people all over the globe, the front porch or parlor room, the pulpit or lecture hall, were the gathering places for story tellers to share insights, humor, and hope through the spoken word. Amy Wright Glenn not only tells stories drawing upon her own experience growing up as the oldest of seven in a small town in Utah, but also relates insights drawn from one who has traveled the world with a passion for philosophy and service. As a trained scholar of comparative Religion and Ethics, Glenn draws upon the work of key teachers and connects metaphysical insights to the daily life challenges we all face as she weaves stories into the broader meta-narrative patterns observed through the discourse of human history. Audiences are inspired to continue to seek out truth and make new connections in their own lives all the while knowing that their stories are microcosms of the major archetypical themes playing out in all lives around them. It is the point of the philosopher and story teller to make these links and work to make the world a more conscious, loving, and joyful place.
"A life that is truly lived is constantly burning away the veils of illusion, gradually revealing the essence of the individual."
