Dreams, Myth And Heart Wisdom
“We may be closest to hearing the call when we feel most alone or in trouble, for genius hides behind the wound and one of the greatest wounds in life is to not know who we are intended to be or what we are supposed to serve in life.”
― Michael Meade, The Genius Myth

Our lives, like the lives of the heroes and heroines in the stories, are mythic if we attend and read them sensitively. Yes, these things “really happened” to us; we really did these deeds. But what is their deep meaning? That is where we find what we call “the meaning of life.” When we see this in our own lives, we can understand that there is no conflict between something having “really happened” historically and the much greater importance of its universal and eternal significance.
