Excerpted from MYCO ECO MYTHO Storytelling by Sophie Strand:
Go to the oak tree and ask for its story. Go to the river and ask for its story. Go to the goldenrod and ask without saying anything. Ask with your nose, your belly, your eyes.
The answer won't always be words. Won't always be sound. Sometimes it will be a feeling in your body. Sometimes it will be a smell.
Stories don't belong to human beings. But human beings belong to stories. Let's enter back into the complex, tangled work of letting go of authorship and letting ourselves be told.
