Friday afternoon story time…today I share a powerful story which has been passed from storyteller to storyteller across the globe for many decades, originally heard from a young boy in Thailand. I first heard the story told by storyteller Donna Sife who dedicated it to the people of Tibet. Today I dedicate this story to the children of Palestine, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ukraine, and trans and gender diverse children across the world. The story invites you to ponder –
Whose songs are being silenced?
Where do you see and feel an indomitable drive for freedom?
