Rise from the Flames: November 2013

Quote

"Furthermore, we have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heroes of all time have gone before us. The labyrinth is thoroughly known; we have only to follow the thread of the hero path. And where we we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; and where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world."

- Joseph Campbell, "A Hero with a Thousand Faces"

"And Found"

I absolutely love listening to Sarah Kay perform her poetry. This particular one, while being the shortest and perhaps not the best in her collection, hit me. It is a subject to which I especially relate.

"And Found"

"Don't sit there; you might knock over the pile of confidence I took all day to stack."
