Speaking of myth - old wisdom/everyday observations (post 2)

The working title I have chosen for this project - Speaking of myth - old wisdom/everyday observations - is just a way in. A bit of a guide as to what I might do. The big stories, and particularly myths, are multi-layered ... they reach us at a deeper level than words alone would normally do. This quote from mythologist Joseph Campbell took my attention this morning:

' (on mythology) ... It used to be that these stories were in the minds of people. When the story is in your mind, then you see its relevance to something happening in your own life. It gives you perspective on what's happening to you.'

Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth
