THE FOUR FRIENDS, ACT III -- Breakfast at Robert's

Act III is now posted.  When I think of this Act and what happens, I and reminded of something Sallie Mc Fague said in her wonderful exploration of language and parable:

"We learn who we are through the stories we embrace as our own. ... The story of my life is structured by the larger stories (social, political, mythic) in which I understand my personal story to take place."

-- Sallie McFague Speaking in Parables (1975)

When I think of the story of a place they should not have gone, to which they regretted going, and the discussion that follows it, I am reminded of another quote from the same book:

Another possible epigraph to Act III: 

"There is no way, now or ever, to have strange truth directly."
