This Sunday is The NJ Storyteller’s Festival and I’ll be on a stage at 4pm. Me and stages have had a comfortable relationship thruout my life. I’ve been on them many times, for many reasons, with groups and solo a lot, too. But, this time, it feels really new and different and scary/exciting…….
I’m telling a personal story that my parents might seriously disapprove of. But, I am soon to be 65 and they are both, long gone as is everyone that I know of in their generation. I am the elder now……daunting. And, this story did indeed impact my life in ways that are so much clearer today.
This is a photo of my mother and Uncle Sam, her brother, who was a favorite uncle until he disappeared from my life.
Being a Scorpio, life can be a mystery to me much of the time. Being born in a family that had ‘secrets’ fueled my curiosity in ways that continue even today.
If you’re in or around the Grounds for Sculpture in NJ (a fabulous backdrop to the day!) come and hear some stories……. maybe you’ll get inspired to tell your own?
