This boundary-shifting fusion of thinking, storytelling, and meditation takes as its starting point five axioms:

- Give Me a Child Before the Age of 7 and I'll Give You the (Wo)Man

- History Repeats Itself...

- Those Who Forget the Past are Condemned to Repeat It

- You Can't Enter The Same River Twice

- Time Heals All Wounds

These beliefs - or intuitions - about the role the past plays in our present are often evoked as if they are timeless and self-evident truths. It is precisely because they are neither, yet still we are persuaded by them, that they tell us a great deal about the forces that shape our culture and the way we live.
