How Community Stories use YOU

"[T]hough we, as listeners have the illusion that we have jumped into the story, the story has actually jumped into us and uses our lives to tell out its story. "
Martin Prechtel

Gather many stories, from across the boundaries that are a community. Listen to the voices of the stories, together. A given story steps out of itself and into another story, and a relationship is formed. Multiply this by the many stories that rise to the surface in a community storygathering (or the double handful of stories that are offered in a weekend workshop) and a phenomenon presents itself. A mystery. The community story, the Story of the many stories, is speaking.
