Monthy Storynight with Daniel Deardorff

Here is a place to keep feeding the story. After each monthly gathering I'll add a discussion of the story we heard by the fire. Also this will be a place to post reminders and date changes if and when they occur. For those of you who regularly attend storynight please join in this group.

What a fan-tastic evening circled around the fire, shadows dancing the way they always have, almost full moon blue glowing shadows on the canvas dancing with the warmyelloworanges of flame below, the drum, the storytellingvoice, the voices raised together to make more than they could possibly be alone - communion, gratitude.

tomorrow night! I am really looking forward to this one.
Daniel Deardorff Comment by Daniel Deardorff on November 24, 2009 at 7:23pm
just a reminder; we'll call the fire at 6:15 and then talk, drum and sing till everyone else arrives. The invocation and story begins at 7:30.
