Stories Explored Through Sensory Play

“Narrative imagining — story — is the fundamental instrument of thought.
Rational capacities depend upon it. It is our chief means of looking into the future, or predicting, of planning, and of explaining.”
--Mark Turner, cognitive scientist, linguist, and author
