Drawing Out the Dragons: A Meditation on Art, Destiny and the Power of Choice (The Meditations) by James A. Owen
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.78MB
Overview: I am often asked to speak at schools, but many booksellers, educators and students have been surprised to realize that when I do, I barely talk about my books at all. That’s because I believe that there are reading groups, dedicated librarians, community-active booksellers and, best of all, excellent teachers who are more than happy to discuss the dragons, myths, legends and storytelling in my Imaginarium Geographica books with their students. But if I am given the attention of five hundred middle-school students for an hour and only that hour, I’m not going to talk about my books. I’m going to talk about the things that I believe are most important in this life; about things I believe are true, meaningful and worth sharing.
I’m going to tell them stories drawn from my own examples about overcoming obstacles and adversity, stories about how making choices in their lives is like drawing a dragon and vignettes about how I came to do what it is that I love most in the world for my job. But, most importantly, I’m going to tell each and every one of them that they can make the same kinds of choices that I did and that I believe in them. Sometimes, being told that is the thing that we need most in our lives.
