I agree. There is something extremely captivating about listening to a well told story. I think it is the fact that you can "lose" yourself in a good story, become totally absorbed and for a little while forget about everything else Enjoyed reading this. I agree.

The stories that make us forget about our worries because we are so engrossed. In a way, it's a form of being present. I feel torn, though, because stories can really keep us from waking up from this dream we are in. If I am out there pursuing bottles of wine from 1892, I'm pretty much lost in the dream. I'm putting value on something outside myself, and a pretty silly thing outside myself, at that. I agree with Anne, it’s the emotional content more than anything else.
