Stories are important to me, they always have been. Some of my favorite childhood memories are sitting in my best friend’s basement as we tell each other our favorite myths and stories. Ive spent so many evenings sitting around the campfire listening intently to stories heard a hundred times already. Almost every big experience in my life I have turned into a story to tell at one point or another.
I really wish more people have experienced just sitting and listening to a master storyteller in person the way I have
Stories are so important to humans. Stories are how we best learn, they are the most consistent way to pass on knowledge. I endeavor to keep my teaching stories mostly true since i have some very literal kids. However I don’t believe a story needs to be true to impart a truth. I will make a true story less true so my listeners can learn something from it. Is that lying?
I may have watched big fish for the first time today.
