A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow men.*
Joseph Campbell
For me to be a saint means to be myself. Therefore the problem of sanctity and salvation is a problem of finding out who I am and of discovering my true self.**
Thomas Merton
Not a hero?,
Not a saint? –
That’s fine,
Just be you
doing the things you
must do.
