Writing Alchemy Fairy Tale 6 Summary
Activist and educator Oblio Stroyman joins Fay for the reading of part 3 of "Tala and Prince Hart," which starts with trickster Tala's humorous strategies for blocking the queen's attempts to hold a successful marriage contest for Prince Hart. The story then moves to a focus on family conflict and resolution. The following discussion centers on the process of forgiveness, non-violent communication, harm done from a place of good intentions, creating new cultural space, and the treatment of youth in our society.
Tala and Prince Hart: Prince Hart is asexual, but his parents and many suitors are having a hard time accepting that. When the trickster Tala decides to come to his aid, chaos naturally ensues in this exuberant story that is a playful response to the all too common romanticization of boundary-crossing behaviors!
