Some time ago I saw an adaptation of The Arabian Nights. The main character Scheherazade was being mentored by a master storyteller. The storyteller told her that “People need stories, more than bread, itself. They teach us how to live, and why.”
I have always believed that there is a power in storytelling which brings me back to this Christmas season. Living in such a tumultuous world now is challenging, but I think even more so at this time of year. So, I’ve turned back to a Christmas classic, A Christmas Carol, filled with important truths not just for this time of year but for all times. If you haven’t picked it up lately, it’s worth a look. Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season.
