Everything in my life, it seemed, had led to this point, this perfect point, poised between the unwashed white and blue of temple and sky.*
Jean Houston

Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey
helps us to see that there is both an ordinary world
and a special world;
There is the ordinary world of
catching buses and spinach between the teeth,
But there is also a mythical world of
meaning and significance.

Systems thinker Peter Senge informs us
that there is both a reinforcing loop and a
balancing loop to any system;**
When there is a problem,
We must go to the balancing loop
to fix it –
And on the brighter side,
When it’s working well,
It takes us to
our perfect, timeless point
of being and doing.

Our myth, or story, is the balancing loop
for what we experience as life-in-all-its-fullness.
