Apotheosis

Apotheosis (n)
a: the perfect form or example of something
b: the highest or best part of something

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 no less than everything) …*

T. S. Eliot

There’s always more to discover about ourselves
than we know;
The best way to plumb our depths is to
add venture:
The basic story of the hero journey
Involves giving up where you are, 
going into the realm of adventure,
coming to some kind of 
symbolically rendered realisation,
and then returning to the field of normal life.
**

A good place to begin is to identify something important about yourself,
Imagine the smallest enhancing iteration of this you can and
action it – follow where it leads,
And perhaps what you find will be worth
everything.

*David Whyte’s Crossing the Unknown Sea;
**Joseph Campbell’s Pathways to Bliss.
