I love the story, including the fact that it is the daughter that wins the contest, AND that she fills the shed with light. This is symbolic, and beautiful.
The Galeano wisdom is a perfect distillation of my own experience with magic. Thank you for sharing.
I too have shared the light story countless times especially in winter. I credit Shadow Land for introducing me to the story, but I suspect that also had something to do with you Chris. Recently, I found a video of you telling the story online, and I was struck by how kind your father was with each of his children, I had removed that from my own telling, but when I brought it back in, it was funny because the audience got why the light was so magnificent, but kept asking which child would inherit the farm (as in, who won).
Hi Chris!

I've told this story to so many different people and groups and it never fails to delight. Lovely to hear from you, Martha.
