From
the earliest ages, people told stories to pass
the time, to impart wisdom and values and just
for fun. Presently there are many storytelling
devices, from the printed word to radio,
television, and computers. But none involve the
intimate sharing of story, when our imaginations
paint pictures and nothing comes between the
story and us.
The
themes and truths in folk and wonder tales
resonate in the hearts of all of us drawing us
closer together in shared experience. No matter
what
our cultural background is or who our people are...
they told stories.
“There have been great societies that did not
use the wheel, but there have been no societies
that did not tell stories.” - Ursula K. LeGuin
My story bag is packed,
I’m ready to light the lantern, pour the rain
stick and weave stories in the quiet whisper of
your imagination. Step over the threshold of the
here and now and come away into the land of
story where anything can happen!
