What is your thread?*
William Sieghart

Life is an expression of bliss.**
Joseph Campbell

Thread is William Stafford‘s word for
bliss, and bliss is Joseph Campbell’s word for
the thing we must do, our “all-important,” so that,
If we tried to remove it, we’d be tearing away
the very core of our being.

There are plenty of things in life that
can demand or distract our attention, or connection
to the thread, especially
when the going gets tough – this is when our
daily rituals and practices that embody our thread
come to our aid, so never forget to
go to your rituals.
