		<description><![CDATA[We spent yesterday afternoon sitting around a backyard campfire with a group of friends from Aidan&#8217;s Junior Great Books club. They had been reading folktales and recently read the classic folktale &#8220;Stone Soup.&#8221; You know the one&#8211;about the pilgrim who comes to town and tells the hungry town folk that he can make soup-enough-for-all from [...]]]></description>

But other times our desire to become more than we are today pushes us past those fears into risky territory&#8211;full of promise and peril. For adults this can be life shaking.
