"STORY HAS A WILL TO SURVIVE that seems almost independent of the
storyteller, as though it has a life of it's own. Oral story is a
singing bird: when we let it out of the cage of the mind, it loves
freedom! The song of the self will light on our shoulder as long as we
don't try to capture it. Then it will flutter away and fly places we
cannot imagine. It will nest and mate and raise other versions of
itself that take on the color and hue and dialect of new territory. And
some spring morning when we most need to hear it, our story will return
outside our window and sing us back into ourself." ---Christina Baldwin

activity that shakes up our complacency and models our ability to
stretch out and mend the world within our reach?"
