Oh Nino! Thank you so much... I hear myself articulated so beautifully and simply by you. Yes - I consider storytelling 'the golden bridge' and, like you, consider myself more of a story listener and evoker than a teller. This is the descent phase of the hero's journey, I think, and the one that we're neither comfortable nor skilled traversing yet. The subjective map makers need the objective action-oriented ground travelers... Many happy wishes to you! glory
