“Our stories contain the answers to each of the others questions. What I cannot find in searching through the riches and rubble of my own life may become apparent to me in the witnessing of yours. It is through our stories that we begin to name ourselves to say who we are under all the social trappings, and to emerge from those trappings like a butterfly from a chrysalis. We are midwives, in a way, to each other's rebirth"

~Jan Phillips in Divining the Body
