Description

“Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.” Joseph CampbellA lot has changed in a mere two weeks and I hope that you are safe and healthy. In the recent podcast about Loki and the quantum cosmos, I suggested that we need to use our ability to question and cultivate a new state of openness. I received requests to talk more about this "openness," which led me to consider these words from Joseph Campbell.There is a connection between this wisdom and the old stories, one's sense of belonging to the world, and the ability to live this paradox of joy and sorrow. Here is my attempt to knit them together for you, offered with the wish that you find some inspiration and encouragement here.The need for physical distance compels us to spend more time at home and perhaps alone, yet we have technologies like the podcast to connect with each other.Take good care of yourself. A transcript of this episode is available at www.mythicmojo.com.Thanks for listening!Support the showEmail Catherine at drcsvehla@mythicmojo.comPost a positive review on apple podcasts!
