BOOK OF THE FUTURE

“Storytelling awakens us to that which is real. Honest. . . . it transcends the individual. . . . Those things that are most personal are most general, and are, in turn, most trusted. Stories bind.  They are basic to who we are.
A story composite personality which grows out of its community. It maintains a stability within that community, providing common knowledge as to how things are, how things should be -- knowledge based on experience. These stories become the conscience of the group. They belong to everyone.”
― Terry Tempest Williams, Pieces of White Shell

Storytelling 2012

This beautiful song from Sarah Slean is my wish for the New Year, for all the storytellers everywhere.
Here's to finding the "The Right Words" in 2012.
And for myself, the courage to speak, the courage to inspire, the courage to dare.
Listen to the sweet lyrics and enjoy....
