Hello to you listening in Invercargill, New Zealand!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.From the novel Love in the Time of Cholera: “He allowed himself to be swayed by his conviction that human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but that life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves.” [ ~ Gabriel García Márquez]Our rebirth manifests as a story, and another, and another, and another.In my very earliest days as a beginning storyteller I learned 3 lessons that helped develop my role as a “story doula” or midwife to stories.One. Each person knows the story they want to tell; all they need is someone to listen it out of them.Two. When we listen the story out of another we do so with respect, delight, and appreciation.Three. Listening out the story in this way awakens the creative intelligence of the storyteller.Story Prompt: What rebirth are you listening for?
