He reminds us of a garden we almost remember. He tells us we are the salt of the earth, but we risk losing our essential tastiness. He tells us we are the light of the world. But do we want to hear what he has to say?

In “Fables of Necessity: Tricksters & Saints” Martin talks about the relationship between persona and presence. Shaw suggests we will have to have some experience of saints & tricksters to make the transition from fables of necessity to stories of the essential. How do we engage artfully with a world on fire?
