20. The Story That Became a Door (Haida — Pacific Northwest)

Among the Haida, stories are carved into wood. Totem poles are not monuments. They are doorways.

A story can imprison. A story can protect. A story can open.

The Fool Method is not about erasing the carving. It is about recognizing the door in the shape.

Every story you carry is already a doorway.

You only need to turn

 the right part of the wood.
