I’m preparing a Christmas performance of stories for children and have been digging into the archive of stories that I told at my children’s bedside when they were young.
They are now 11 and 13 years old, and a very, very long way from having Dad tell them a story at bedtime. But when they were small, I told them a new, intuitive story every evening. Over a four year period we shared a thousand stories together, and the best of them became part of Palace of Stories, my website of stories for children.
This month’s podcast features one of those stories, which I retold with music in the recording studio last week. Like most of those stories, it carries a spiritual message in allegorical form: that we are all divine, whether Kings or Kings’ Gardeners, and how love and wisdom reveals this about us.
