A myth is essentially a guide; it tells us what we must do in order to live more richly.*
Karen Armstrong

Learning to make meaning from our life stories maybe the most indispensable but least understood skills of our time.**
Bruce Feiler

There are plenty of spirited stories, but myths are enriched
with soul;
That they are not specifically true does not matter,
Their enrichment is in metaphor, symbol, and ritual;
Your myth will not work for me, nor mine for you –
Though we may borrow from each other and add to our own;
A myth does not only include yesterday, but also
opens up tomorrow;
Most of all it makes it possible to interface with
our talents, energies, and values.^
