The Talkative Crow
Words are the very expression of our thoughts; the interface between the utterly personal world inside our heads and the utterly public world outside. In skilled hands, words bring us whole new realms to experience alongside new insights into the familiar. They can make us cry, and a moment later fill us with the most perfect, wonderful joy. Sometimes, the right handful of words can change the universe forever.
This channel is a place for me to share some of my favourite words, whether they be poems, short stories, fairy tales, fascinating origins, or simply a perfectly crafted anecdote. I hope they bring you as much pleasure as they bring me.
Alas, I am no Patrick Stewart or Ian McKellen, but I hope these videos add a little something to the world. So please, dear listener, enjoy.
