A good storyteller should necessary be a good listener too...

Canal St. Martin - Paris (France)

Not only every person, but also every things, every place have a story (or many stories) to tell. The difference is, maybe that often people tell their stories by words, which everybody can hear, while things and places have silent voices.


I remember a sentence one character says in one of the last movies of Federico Fellini “ La Voce della Luna” (The voice of the moon)…something like that


“Silence, silence, if all could try to make a little silence and to listen, maybe we could understand anything…”


If one can stay silent and to listen also to silence voices, then one can learn so many little stories to tell others.
A storyteller maybe should be an intermediary between a silent story and its possible listeners.
And now this little story has nearly finished its prologue, it’s time to go back to the place where I’ll meet Sergey.

An interesting Story is being told for sure. I wonder what the Lamp Post could tell us as an observer of the many people that pass by it, lean on it or draw comfort from it. Voted Barry
