Parabola's Winter 1979 issue: Storytelling and Education Education, which means a leading out, must mean a development from the inside, an opening of the inner eye; it must mean development of inner strength. The word "discipline" is out of style, but it simply means teaching, and the learning of the teaching by a "disciple." And if the truth makes us free, true education surely also must bring a kind of inner liberation from our more ignorant inner slaveries--especially, as Krishnamurti says, freedom from fear. --from the editorial Focus Cover: "Old Father" by Pablita Velarde From Pablita Velarde, Old Father the Story Teller.
