60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday: What Happens When We Invite the Silence Between the Spoken Words?

<p>Hello to you listening in <a href="https://www.visitstillwater.org/" target="_blank">Stillwater, Oklahoma</a>! </p><p>Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.    </p><p>As a storyteller I’ve had many opportunities over the decades to learn about and use the power of the pause. I’ve come to know that inviting the space of silence in a story creates an opportunity for teller and audience to rest, live and breathe inside the story. Our job is not to rocket along to the end, but to sit together quietly in the beating heart of the story. To inhabit that world together. That’s the sorcery of stories I work with.</p><p><strong>Story Prompt</strong>: Pause. Be. Here. Now. As long as it takes. What happens next? Write that story!</p><p><strong>You’re invited</strong>: “<i>Come for the stories - stay for the magic</i>!” <strong>Speaking of magic, I hope you’ll subscribe, follow, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time</strong>!
