Butcher’s Tears
A tale which points to the inevitability of suffering but also of how we should respond to it
I was sent the tale by New York storyteller Laura Simms, who in turn had recently heard if from another teller, Loren Niemi. It was a story which immediately spoke to me.
The recording above was made in Decmeber 2012 at my annual Amnesty Internation benefit performance.
