""The House of the Answers"

   

On 30th November 2000, I did a creative writing session with my Greek, Irish and Spanish friends, who were attending an international seminar in Spain.

After talking about the "metaphor", I asked the group to give me a word. I think it was Marie (from Ireland) who suggested "house". Then I asked the group again to give me another word, very distant in meaning from the previous one. Ioanna (from Greece) suggested "answer". Eureka! We had discovered "The House of the Answers"

Now, questions, please. What is the House of the Answers? Where is it? Who lives there? What do they do? What answers can we find there? How do they do their job? What people go there? Are they quick to answer or do they take their time? When do they open? What's the closing time? Do they work overnight? Do you have to pay? How much? Can we ask whatever we want? Where do they keep the answers? Have they got tinned answers or are they bottled? Do they give the same answer to everybody? Do we really need the House of the Answers? What is really the House of the Answers? …

Well, let's start… Once upon a time…
