“When you follow your bliss, and by bliss I mean the deep sense of being in it, and doing what the push is out of your own existence—it may not be fun, but it’s your bliss, and there’s bliss behind pain too. You follow that and doors will open where there were no doors before, where you would not have thought there’d be doors, and where there wouldn’t be a door for anybody else. There’s something about the integrity of a life. And the world moves in and helps.”
—Joseph Campbell

Dreams: Weathervane of the Soul
Published July 12, 2012 Uncategorized Leave a CommentTags: dreamwork
A good article by the Huffington Post’s Richard Gaudreau on how dreams have worked in his life..
“What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make and end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from. . . .
With the drawing of this Love and the voice of this Calling
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, unremembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
Quick now, here, now, always—
A condition of complete simplicity
(Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flames are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one.”
—excerpts from “Four Quartets” by T.S. Eliot
