Myth and Mystery

When we read Joseph Campbell about the pervasiveness of myth, we often think of direct conflict: war.

Mystery prevails in myth as well. Oh, we don't always think of it that way.

We are authors and it is our job to believe that what is presented as truth is in fact falsehood. The clever bit is the mystery of "why?"

So, think about your life. Think about the myths you've encountered in the form of mystery.

Don't take the truth as presented. Starting from the meager premise that you are being deceived is bound to present some tremendous tales.

Lock the doors tonight. Don't use the telephone.
