Story tellers in my Native American culture gather and share history. The story tellers are often portrayed as a mother surrounded and overrun with children. For me, this past year of The Season has been a time of gathering and sharing. In this picture you see a woman gathering her various children, and the symbols around her represent the different stories and different art forms that were all gathered. May we always continue to nurture and grow the arts and continue to make stories that are worth sharing.
