Editorial - Part #4 (Storyteller)
Catherine Balachowski
Issue #4 (June 2008)
Welcome, Summer Adventurer it is good to see you again browsing the pages of magic and imagination. As we enter our first summer with our readers and authors we would like to thank those who support us in subscription, creative writing and surfers. It is a rough world we live in with gas prices soaring and polar caps melting, but somehow we manage to continue to embrace the vast vision of the storyteller.
The amazing thing about the storyteller is that we, as a human race, have always had one. The Elder, the Healer, the Old One and the Learned One are just some of the names humans have given to the storyteller. The Elder would gather the tribe around a fire as the day grew to a close and they would recite great feats of battle, hunting or the creation of the world. It is from these stories that writers fashion the current stories we have come to know – good vs. evil, life vs. death. As always, we, “the tribe” applaud the teller of tales and dream the story images they gave us; therefore becoming one with the adventure.
