This is the month when the United States celebrates the Thanksgiving season. While traditional activities are being somewhat curtailed by the Coronavirus, one thing that is still available is family storytelling. This can be done among those with whom you live, or it can be done with extended family over Zoom, Skype, the telephone or any other electronic and virtual medium. Stories can translate well through cyberspace, and that type of interaction can brings families and friends closer together. So. . .besides the turkey and trimmings of this season, inject some story into your celebration. It could help you to be safer and still close to your loved ones.
"A story beats with the heart of every person who has ever strained ears to listen. On the breath of the storyteller, it soars. Until its images and deeds become so real you can see them in the air, shimmering like oases on the horizon line." Cameron Dokey, The Storyteller's Daughter
