I love you too, Jack.

From the article published in The Guardian by John Henley, “Malick Sidibé photographs: One Nation Under a Groove”
#PaulZak on #Storytelling
“Stories are powerful because they transport us into other people’s worlds but, in doing that, they change the way our brains work and potentially change our brain chemistry — and that’s what it means to be a social creature.”
