Storytelling is one of our oldest art forms, and
oldest urges, dating back to the Stone Age, when the ancients told their stories
by carving them on the walls of their dwellings. Millions of years later,
native Indians would carry on the tradition, gathering in a circle around a
fire, while their tribal leader told them a tale to end their weary day.
Storytelling is how we learn our history. It's how we trace our families.
How we pass on our religions. And, of course, it's how we share our lives with
each other. Because life -- with its ever-rotating cast of characters and
unexpected plot twists -- is really just one long and colorful story, isn't it?
On Sunday, we celebrate another National Tell a Story Day, an informal but delightful holiday whose sole purpose is pretty simple: for people around the country to gather -- whether in a living room or a library -- and engage one another other with some fabulous tale. It doesn't matter if the story is real-life or fiction, folk lore or tall tale, or comes from a book, a memory or that special place in our brains where the imagination takes charge. All that matters is that you've got a story to tell -- and that you tell it.
