Thanks Susie, couldn’t agree more as to the power of story-telling including for adults.

I too can clearly remember storytelling moments in my primary school classroom – sitting on the floor totally enchanted with the story my teacher was telling us.

As adults too, there’s that point of connection, that sense of a shared humanity too (I feel).

I suddenly remembered when I was in primary school, we had many ethics lessons taught through fables and parables, which I really loved. All of the emotion, the pitfalls, lessons learned, hope for the future seemed to connect with my soul as the listener and really sank in deep. Your storytelling, brought back that happy memory to me and reminded me of the power of our stories for students. Maybe stories are powerful for adults as well, especially when fostering risk and paradigm shift. Thank you for teaching me that.

Fab as always to get your insights – your take on things. Jen. You’re right sometimes we privilege relationships over our preferences…and for sure taking risks does at times necessitate thinking of the impact on others..

Funnily enough in recent times…when it’s been about to rain, or started raining I’ve just enjoyed it, and consciously said to myself….Just enjoy it Greg. I’ve not sprinted to get home..it takes me back to the time in the blogpost…remembering how invigorating it was then to get drenched.
