We
owe and are owned by the tribe. Even the few that struggle so
desperately to liberate themselves from it, their very struggle becomes a
kind of testimony to their attachment, and yet the calling to be
oneself is always there, a background drama full of tension and longing.
When the tension is strong enough in us we can use it to create -
poems, music, dance, characters. Every story truly told is the
expression of our tribal identity, and the possibility of our liberation
from the tyrannies it imposes. This is the great situation of irony out
of which each of us creates.
