That image of a story-bubble being created between a teller and the listener struck me, making me realize that there truly was something real being created between the teller and the listener. It was a thought-form that everyone seemed to be plugging into subconsciously, creating a space where the listeners not only heard what was being said, but they experienced and felt it as well. This space was being woven by the teller, but it would also be fed by the listeners.

That is a powerful revelation, I have often mulled about the writer/reader relationship (same concept). The teller crafts the story, guides the audience...but each member of the audience brings his or her own experiences, biases, thoughts and interpretations into the thought-form to create something completely unique. It shows the teller that no matter how accomplished, the listener does shape the story when receiving it as well.
