The meaning of Story telling

[Glory Ressler]

Oh Nino!
Thank you so much...  I hear myself articulated so beautifully and simply by
you. Yes - I consider storytelling 'the golden bridge' and, like you, consider
myself more of a story listener and evoker than a teller.  This is the descent
phase of the hero's journey, I think, and the one that we're neither comfortable
nor skilled traversing yet.  The subjective map makers need the objective
action-oriented ground travelers...
Many happy wishes to you!
