Listening
Ask a question. . .then;
listen quietly, uninterrupted, let the words flow through you as the story teller remembers days of long ago in a time now long forgotten. Let the emotion engulf the room as the words create the picture of days gone by. Listen, quietly, uninterrupted, as the story teller wanders down the dusty road of yesterday with flashes of people loved, but now gone.
The day after Thanksgiving is the unofficial National Day of Listening.
Plan to set aside time to listen to family stories and to record those stories;
and then listen quietly, uninterrupted.
