The meaning of Story telling

Michaël -

for me human actions always happen in two spheres. The "real" one, call it
objective or "territory" or grounded or anything like that - and the
"spiritual" one, which may be called the subjective or the "map".

Now, story telling is the act to join these two spheres. To fit action and
interpretation. To learn about what is just going on to happen. To make
things discussible.

Therefore, story telling for me is the introduction of the meta level: It
enables us to create ideas about what is happening. To create maps.

(But please use this view with care - for I'm rather a story listener than a
story teller ;-)


kind greetings
Nino
