@boagie,
Joseph Campbell was a brilliant man. He saw things so clearly and explained them so simply.
Quotes from Campbell:
If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else.
It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.
Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning.
I needed to read those today. I need to remember them. I am following my bliss, and am currently in my own abyss...heeehee I rhymed.
