OLD TAOIST STORIES / MODERN WORRIES
Leave room
for maybe.
Life rarely follows the story we have in mind.
Pull up a stone beside Master Water and Pebble.
There is a little room for what happens next.

ORIGINAL CHARACTERS / OLD STORIESTHE TWO BEHIND THE STORIES
A teacher.
A very good questioner.
Master Water
Old stories. An unhurried answer. Master Water helps his student make room for what he cannot yet know.
Pebble
Curious, stubborn, and determined to get life right. Pebble asks the questions we sometimes feel too embarrassed to ask.
Our characters and conversations are fictional. The original teachings and our adaptations are identified on every story page.
