NSN Storyteller Profile ... Mij Byram

What I love most about storytelling is the connection. It is touching the hearts and imaginations of listeners. It is opening them to adventures and feelings and possibilities. In a story, we can walk through fear and chase the villain. We can experience sorrow and joy and do it in the safe harbor of a story. My favorite story is the one I?m telling at the moment. If the listener likes the story I love the story. A story can change the way you think. That's pretty powerful, to change thoughts and ideas. A story can touch your heart, make you laugh or make you cry, it can comfort or challenge. A story can help you see yourself and your world in a new way. How can you not be fascinated by stories?
For me it's not about puppets or props or songs or staging or the teller or even the story. It's about the listener and what is happening inside the listener. It is person to person. It's about the connection. That connection is not magic.

It's simply REAL.
