Our Tales have heart beats..listen to them
What makes us human?
Put simply, our stories.
At first our stories began with a dash–
a simple sharing of quiet times and perhaps wishes
of where we could be.
But as our time together progressed
we shared our wonderings,
worries and wildness.
We read about
others who could not share thier
stories and suffered for thier silence.
Some people
who told stories as
their secret gift
but now
the secret is to be kept no longer.
For you see
our tales have heart beats
Listen to them.
Tell them.
Enjoy the sound.
(This is a poem that I shared with my Applied Storytelling class. I thought I would share it with you. Feel free to share your thoughts. Special thanks to Ted Gup who wrote A Secret Gift, a book all my students enjoyed.)
Feel free to comment or share a story. We are listening. This is a place where stories and more about storytelling is discovered. KC
