Love this! I have mixed feelings about Joseph Campbell as a human but I love the lessons you've taken from his work. This quote really stuck with me: "The point is to not understand; to not be satisfied with any particular form we take on. The point is to let ourselves be ever-changing, ever-evolving. It’s the only way we continue being the hero, because “the hero of yesterday becomes the tyrant of tomorrow, unless he crucifies himself today.”
