The Power of Oral Tradition: Connecting Through Storytelling
Replenishing oral culture emphasizes the importance of face-to-face storytelling, fostering a connection to the landscape and the natural world. This practice not only brings personal stories into relation with a larger narrative but also cultivates a sense of humility, rooted in the understanding that humans, as earthlings, are intrinsically tied to the soil and the environment. Humility, derived from the word 'humus,' reflects our place in a larger community that includes all beings—animals, plants, and even inanimate objects. Engaging in playful interactions, music, and poetry enriches this culture, encouraging expressions that prioritize oral transmission over publication, allowing words to resonate and connect with the land and each other. The act of sharing local stories enhances community bonds, showcasing the uniqueness of bioregions and the collective experiences within them. Oral culture thrives in local settings, contributing to a sense of belonging and continuity between generations through the exchange of stories and experiences of the peculiarities of the environment.
