Weavings and Believings -

A Rhymed Affair on Tales We Share

Linda Ann Nickerson

"It's a poor sort of memory
that only works backwards."
Lewis Carroll
(1832 - 1898)

"Think left and think right,
and think low and think high.
Oh, the thinks you can think up,
if only you try!"
Dr. Seuss / Theodor Geisel
(1904 - 1991)

The storyteller spins his tale
To banish sadness and travail.
His yarn, he weaves, the stuff of dreams,
Imaginings, drawn to extremes.

He holds our musings in his hands,
And leads our hearts to foreign lands,
With ponderings too deep to end;
We join his quest, as we pretend.

This magic, be it mad or true,
Does captivate both me and you.
We crave the gladsome metaphor
Of happy after evermore.

    The "story" and "storytelling" do have an amazing allure to us.
