Creative Wounds
Apollo and Dionysus
…after reading Hillman, I began to wonder about how Dionysus became overshadowed by the cool distant reason of his brother Apollo…
…Dionysus was a ‘god of moisture’, and a ‘god of the vine’, and a little closer to the ‘zoe’ of a more natural life force and the earth and the body and nature. And these are things that often seem to be repressed or lost or forgotten in our culture (and maybe even sent into exile in the so-called ‘normal’ world)…

The monkey mind is not the source of our anxiety. It’s a symptom of it. Forget the monkey mind. The mind is not the problem — unhealed pain is…
… It’s the “monkey heart” that’s the issue — the state of inner turbulence and agitation that emanates from an unclear heart.
