Aspects of Storytelling
"Hear
and attend and listen; for this befell and behappened and
became and was, O my Best Beloved, when the Tame animals
were wild."
-
Rudyard Kipling
Stories
in themselves have a special power. They compel us to "hear
and attend and listen" in a way that other forms of
speech do not. Public speakers, from pulpit to politics,
know how an anecdote can make an audience`s ears perk up.
From
"The Web of Silence" by Fran Stallins
