tonight my friend Karen invited me out to hear a storyteller. the storyteller is the same woman our bookclub heard when we took a trip to Banff for a girl's weekend a couple of years back.
she was in town. i jumped at the chance to listen to her again. she's very gifted.
the story was about a mermaid who marries a mortal, has kids, gets a job, encounters marital agitation, kid problems. it was all told to us within about 90 minutes.
the storyteller (Mandy) called the group of us the "friends of the mermaid" because we were the first group that she had told the story too. we were honoured.
she is on her way to some workshops on Pender Island. i hope her travels take her back to our little town again so we can hear more.

some people have such a knack for public reading. i had an english prof once who used to read passages to the class and i absorbed every word. i think i could have listened to him read all day.
