Some of you are aware that I didn't grow up with a conventional father.....he looks like a cross between Santa Claus, Gandalf and Dumbledore and spends his time writing poetry, telling stories and doing a whole load of other stuff including being a writer in residence in a prison. When I was growing up I just wanted a "normal" dad who wore a suit and worked in an office....these days whilst still embarrassed by him on occasion I am generally very proud of what he does, recognising that he has both talent and a real ability to be there and support others who society often rejects.
I've shared some of his poems before but today I'm sharing a You Tube link of him telling. The story is The Ribbon Maiden and at just 5 minutes is a quick, fun way to chill and connect with your inner child.
