As we move toward the holidays, we move toward a period of celebration, feasting, and family gatherings. It is also a period of looking back, taking stock, and contemplation.
For this month’s offering, I’ve settled on a contemplative story, a story about wisdom and judgment. It called The beggar King, and told by Heather Forest, who has told us so many traditional and multicultural tales over the years. Heather is a Circle of Excellence Award winner, which is presented by the National Storytelling Network, and founder of Story Arts, a cultural arts organization.
Here is Heather Forest telling The Beggar King.
That was Heather Forest.
The Lehigh Valley Storytelling Guild holds its Storytelling Circle at Godfrey Daniels at 7 East 4th Street in Bethlehem on the second Wednesdays of the month at 7:30 pm (except the month of August). Come and listen to stories or try out a story yourself. We are a friendly audience and the event is free.
Well, that’s all for now, have fun and keep a story in your heart.
