She tells many different stories from many different places: ones that contain more than just conflict-rising action-resolution. In the telling and the talking, everyone in the audience learns a little more, and even begins to empathize with very different cultures. We had stories with Celtic roots; one told in Persia; another from Afghanistan. The kids laughed, gasped, and were generally spellbound (so were the adults). All she did tonight was tell a good story--but then again, what a thing she did tonight, in simply telling a good story.
