Well half way through this podcast the voice changes. It's like a different person. There I was sharing the story of Julia and her tragedy as an example of natural but gifted story telling, and then the battery went dead and I had to start all over again. The break is after about 12 minutes. But it gave me a chance to describe another moment of quiet pleasure alone in the universe. 

I was so moved by so many stories I heard from Travellers that I wove them into a play one time many years ago, called The Tinker's Curse, which I might make into a  podcast sometime  in the future. In the meantime I hope you enjoy this story of a woman I really loved and admired for her generosity and her gifted way of telling a story.
