On our way back from vacationing in Colorado, we decided to swing down to Taos, New Mexico and take in a bit of history by way of the pueblos.  While there, we studied the architecture, coveted the hornos (outside ovens), and visited many of the shops. 

One item made by a local artist held my fascination.  It was The Storyteller.  There were many different versions of this statue, but they all had the same concept...a concept that fits perfectly with the life of a homeschooling mom.

The statue consists of a woman with her mouth wide open in the telling of a tale.  About her are children, climbing on her, sitting on her lap, sitting at her feet, listening to her stories.

It is perfect!  What do homeschool mothers do day in and day out?  We sit with children all around, teaching them things, telling them tales, imparting wisdom.  What a beautiful reminder of the power of what we do!
