The Story Teller

Storyteller, Story Teller, or Story-Teller may refer to: Narrator, a storyteller within a story. Oral storytelling, traditional relation of history and culture. Storytelling, the conveying of events in words, images and sounds, often by improvisation or embellishment.

I adore stories. As children we are told tales of adventure, romance, and excitement. As a student I loved creative writing courses-pouring out words of hope and sorrow; defeat and triumph; courage and valor. I express myself best with pen in hand. Alas my absolute favorite is the rare individual born with the gift of story telling. They are naturally capable of conveying images and events with words. I am fortunate to know a man such as this. He has the unique ability to paint images with his words. The type of person who weaves images and sounds together as he speaks. No pen is needed for this type of story teller. Rather, the audience can see and feel his descriptions. Those fortunate enough to find such a person (regardless of the type of relationship) should listen closely for they will be moved each time he speaks.
