It's nice to see you on my blog and thank you for your comment. I agree with you that storytelling in some ways has become a lost art, in part because we tend to associate telling stories as being the work of writers and entertainers. But the fact is all of us in our own ways are storytellers - how many of us have shared stories of trips taken with the family or a humourous anecdote of something that happened at work. Each of these in their own right are stories that either serve to allow us to share an experience or transfer an idea or thought. As you said, through telling stories, we create bonds that tie us together and inform us of our shared commonality. Thanks for pointing out the photo blog. I'll be sure to check it out. And thanks again for stopping by my blog and sharing your thoughts on storytelling. Hi Catherine. It’s nice to see you on my blog and thank you for your comment.

Story telling is the foundation of our humanity. Way before writing, people gathered and spread their mythologies, their family anecdotes, their truths. TV is deleting these moments of true initiation. We need story telling to cement our community. By the way, you may want to check the fabulous photo blog that Julie (@tangobabySF) created on San Franciscans. Each story is told through pictures and a text, and shared through the blog. It is truly beautiful. http://iliveheresf.blogspot.com/ Namaste, Catherine http://www.frenchshuicafe.com/ Merci for your post.
