Joseph Campbell made it clear that the journey of the hero was also an allegory of the soul’s journey towards enightenment.*
Jean Houston

Those we call teachers may or may not be teachers. Those around whom surprising thinking emerges are teachers.**
James Carse

You can’t,
Neither can I enlighten you –
It takes form in a place
we fashion together,
In a to-and-fro-ness of lives,
In openness and a willingness
to receive:
I’ve heard it said
there’s a window that opens
from one mind to
another,
but if there’s no wall,
there’s no need for fitting a window,
or the latch.^
