1. The Story That Listens Back (Native American — Lakota)

In the old Lakota teachings, the world is not a backdrop — it is a living companion. The wind has memory. The stones keep counsel. The river holds your reflection, even when you refuse to look.

When you tell your story to the land, it listens without interruption. And sometimes, if the story has grown too heavy, The land tells a new one back.

This is the heart of The Fool Method — not a therapy that fixes you but a listening that frees you.

For the story you came with It is not the only story available.

The moment you speak it aloud, another becomes possible.
