From the perspective of the source, the world is a majestic harmony of forms pouring into being, exploding, and dissolving.  But what the swiftly passing creatures experience is a terrible cacophony of battle cries and pain.

-Joseph Campbell. “The Hero with a Thousand Faces”

I’ve been making pretty good progress with the book, considering I only read it to put myself to sleep and it’s pretty dense.  Really enjoying it, too.  Not at all what I imagined what it would be, in a good way, and much excellence about Everything there, including, perhaps, current events.
