Susan Griffin Quotes

The Telling And The Hearing Of A Story Is Not A Simple Act. The One Who Tells Must Reach Down Into Deeper Layers Of The Self, Reviving Old Feelings, Reviewing The Past. Whatever Is Retrieved Is Reworked Into A New Form, One That Narrates Events And Gives The Listener A Path Through These Events That Leads To Some Fragment Of Wisdom. The One Who Hears Takes The Story In, Even To A Place Not Visible Or Conscious To The Mind, Yet There. In This Inner Place A Story From Another Life Suffers A Subtle Change. As It Enters The Memory Of The Listener It Is Augmented By Reflection, By Other Memories, And Even The Body Hearing And Responding In The Moment Of The Telling. By Such Transmissions, Consciousness Is Woven.
