here’s a natural connection between storytellers, environmental activists and scientists. The oral traditions of all three share the belief that we ignore the world’s smallest voices at our grave peril. In every wondertale, the true wisdom comes from the little mouse on the road, or the unkempt vagabond, or even a dream. In the old stories, the heroes and heroines are the ones who stop and listen. The arrogant ones keep riding by, and miss the Earth-knowledge and soul-wisdom carried by these unlikely voices.
