Fairy tales are inherently subversive. If you sit with one, if you think about what puzzles, delights, or infuriates you, you will be changed. And there are thousands of fairy tales and stories in cultures around the world, that have this power. 

 “The Queen Bee,” a fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm, was new to me when I set out to record this podcast. It’s pretty short and I didn’t expect much. I didn’t love the story or think that it would find its way into a podcast, but the tale kept revealing new depths and I was compelled to follow the trail.

This fairy tale got me thinking about what kind of person I am and who I want to be, about hopelessness and surrender, belonging and miracles. I hope you find inspiration and food for thought here too.
