tell Akiwenzii that all the stories have been told. That there are no new ideas. You can try and make something up but chances are, it’s already happened or it just doesn’t matter. That we are stuck and anything that gets us unstuck seems trite. “So?” they say. “All the stories have always already been told. You just tell the same ones over and over and over and over and eventually, if you are patient, something you forgot breaks through. You aren’t patient.”
