"Stories move in circles... they don't go in straight lines... So ithelps if you listen in circles. There are stories inside stories and stories between stories, and finding your way through them is as easy and as hard as finding your way home. And part of the finding is the getting lost. And when you're lost, you start to look and listen."

(From Deena Metzger, Writing for Your Life: Discovering The Story of Your Life's Journey. Toronto: HarperCollins Canada, 1992)
