I thought tonight might be a great opportunity to introduce myself in a little more direct way. I have been called by a great many names, but the one that is most truly me is 'storyteller'.
I acquired the name from the kids. You see, I have traveled a lot over the years, and the children, bless their hearts, only remember me as the man who tells stories. I try to be a little theatrical to entertain the kids, and I guess they remember me for that. I love to see their eyes light up when I tell grand adventures, and I love to see their hearts moved at the sacrifices of noble heroes. It really is a win-win.
I have also found stories to be a great way to connect with people that you meet. Whether it is for a few minutes, hours, or even years. Through the stories that people tell, you can see them the way they want to see themselves. People tend to remember the things that they want to remember, and it is by hearing the things that they most identify with that you can see into their souls. And when they open themselves up to you they yearn for you to give something back. So... stories, I hear, and I share stories. Therefore, I am the Storyteller.
I guess I will also be your guide to my world. I hope you will come along.
