I consider Story Listeners to be just as important to the process of "Telling" and "Listners." We Tellers need the listners, possibly sometimes more that than they need us. And, if a story that you heard touched you in some way, postive, in-between, negative...you the listner received and gave something to the Teller(s. And, wasn't necessary for you to communicate to the Teller(s) what you received and gave. Making it simple...using the old description...."If a tree fell in the forest and noone was present to hear it, was it a sound? If a storyteller told a story in the forest and no one was present to hear it, was a story told? LISTENERS ARE IMPORTANT TOO!
