  Hello, everyone. My name is Gary Dean. I'm with EyeOpener Society.
• 0:06
  Thank you again for tuning in. And I'm just bringing you another shorter attention
• 0:09
  span podcast here and storytelling.
• 0:14
  I miss,
• 0:17
  Right now, Ann Lund from Haunted and Waiting. I haven't heard much from her
• 0:21
  as far as her podcast goes.
• 0:24
  And like I say, she is the artist. She is the creator.
• 0:27
  When it feels right, I know she will bring a show out for us.
• 0:32
  But I miss her storytelling.
• 0:34
  And it would be great for me to sit here. And who knows, with all of the time
• 0:39
  slots that I want to start filling up in the near future, I might do some story
• 0:44
  time. maybe actually getting scripted.
• 0:47
  And when there's a good story that I would like to bring forward to you, I can do that.
• 0:52
  Uh, stories are great. It's no different than reading where it opens up your
• 0:57
  imagination and it places you into a, you know, a moment that you're drawing
• 1:01
  the pictures in your mind.
• 1:03
  You're only being fed the words, but your mind actually starts writing that,
• 1:07
  you know, or publishing the illustrations.
• 1:10
  And to me, that is very amazing that we have that capability to do that whenever
• 1:16
  we pick up a book and we turn those pages, the crispness.
• 1:19
  And I'm not talking about eBooks or anything like that.
• 1:22
  I do sometimes look at those, but I still prefer real books where you're turning
• 1:27
  and you got that feel. There's just something about that.
• 1:31
  And to hear somebody read a story is also wonderful as well.
• 1:36
  Hearing the way another person reads, the inflictions in their voices and just
• 1:40
  the way they are interpreting the story just through the way they read.
• 1:46
  And then you're taking it and you're changing the story in your head,
• 1:50
  changing a little bit of the scenery and all of that.
• 1:53
  That storytelling at its finest. And I think it's such a wonderful thing.
• 1:58
  And again, I'm actually considering doing some story times on my podcast,
• 2:04
  getting some really great stories, things that would really enhance your mind,
• 2:11
  get you to go down some rabbit holes, open up some new doorways into your soul.
• 2:18
  I would love to do that.
• 2:20
  And I just might do that. And I'm going to put it down on the whole podcast
• 2:23
  platform, you know, checkoff sheet that I have where I got tons of ideas and
• 2:31
  I want to bring them and I just write them down.
• 2:35
  And maybe we can all as a collective sit around and hear these stories,
• 2:40
  whether they're made up, whether they're real, whatever the case may be, I'll think about it.
• 2:44
  But in the meantime, pick up a book again, read something, read a novel. Read a short story.
• 2:52
  Listen to someone reading. Let the words nourish you.
• 2:55
  Let the words paint pictures and enjoy that space in your imagination that's
• 3:01
  going to give you a feel that you are a player in that story.
• 3:08
  You become a character in the background and you're interwoven into that story
• 3:13
  just based on what you are thinking.
• 3:14
