It is impossible to go on as you were before, so you must go on as you never have.
~ Cheryl Strayed

This above all, To thine own self be true.

Trillium
(Trillium)
Maybe the heroes journey has taken us far enough, and the time has come for a different mythic imagination to rise and offer new approaches to the many dilemmas and complicated problems. Whereas the hero's journey tends to be conceived as a courageous search in distant lands, the genius myth involves a turn within that leads to a deeper sense self and also a return to the origins of our lives.
~ Michael Meade
Bench
Empty yourself of everything
Let the mind become still
The ten thousand things rise and fall while the Self watches their return.
They grow and flourish and then return to the source.
Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way of nature.
~ Tao Te Ching vs 16
