Geschichten sind das Kleid der Wahrheit

The truth you want to tell the world must be woven into your story. If you present your truth directly as a statement, it will not interest anyone. However, if you dress it in your own unique narrative, it gains persuasive power, and people will be eager to listen to you. But for that, you must first experience life. Because stories arise from the experience of living.

Shiva Ryu took these words of his Indian master to heart. Thus, he began to collect the most diverse fables on his journey through the land, to convey their magic and wisdom in his own way and within the context of his truth. For there are things that endure through the ages. Fables illuminate what is important and valuable in life and help us understand the essence of humanity. They lead us to recognize the wonders of our world, and who knows – perhaps these stories from India can serve as a framework when we want to tell our own truth.
