I am sharing THIS story in order to help change the world - will you help me?

Shouting at the sky

Today the sky is grey,

and I sat and shouted at it

"Why are you so grey?"

The clouds gave me no answer

and the sun persisted in hiding

behind that grey wet mist.

So I reached up and pulled and pulled

until the sky fell down on my head.

"OK Sky - so there you have it,

NOW look what you've done"

And the sky said… Continue

This One is Mine - Hafiz

Someone put

You on a slave block

And the unreal bought

You.

Now I keep coming to your owner

Saying,

"This one is mine."

You often overhear us talking

And this can make your heart leap

With excitement.

Don't worry

I will not let sadness

Possess you.

I will gladly borrow all the gold

I need

To get… Continue

Speaking to love..

Today I raised my voice and said

"love - its time to come here and hold hands,

we're struggling, pushing our way

through the mud of every day life and there you

sit, just watching and laughing!"

Love turned to me and smiled,

"What do you want of me? All I

have given you, you turn away

and throw down as if rubbish

was more… Continue

You don't have to act crazy any more..

You Don't Have to Act Crazy Anymore -

We all know you were good at that.

Now retire, my dear,

From all that hard work you do

Of bringing pain to your sweet eyes and heart.

Look in a clear mountain mirror -

See the Beautiful Ancient Warrior

And the Divine elements

You always carry inside

That infused this Universe with sacred Life

So long ago

And join… Continue

A riddle from Sherwood Forest or anywhere else for that matter!

Like many storytellers I like to add a riddle or two to my sessions to add a bit of interest. They are particularly good when waiting for a crowd to arrive. I often use them to set up a particular tale and as a means for an audience to 'earn a story. If they get the riddle right, they get a story or two. If they cannot answer the riddle, they must stay behind till the end, help me pack up and carry all my skins, tent and other stuff back to… Continue

The Mermaid’s Purse

Melanie so loved going fishing with her father early each morning. The two of them would get up at dawn and walk down to the edge of the… Continue
