Storytelling
Now is the time of the year when we honor our dead, the ghosts of the past, and we harvest the crops.
Now is the time of the year when the dried, fallen leaves whirl about in the wind.
Soon the rains will come, followed by winter.
Soon the days will grow darker, with the faint promise of spring in the distance.
These are the days of sharing the fruits of our harvest.
These are the days of storytelling. – Jen Hildreth
