about

"If this life be not a real fight, in which something is eternally gained for the universe by success, it is no better than a game of private theatricals from which one may withdraw at will. But it feels like a real fight."
---William James

The words above are the epigraph to a chapter in Annie Dillard's book "The Writing Life." In this podcast, I share a story from Dillard that helps me greet the day and take up my work despite uncertain outcomes.

I hope that it does the same for you.

I've also included two poems written by members of our Myth Matters story circle. Thank you to Dick Sumpter and Elise Kost for sharing your hearts and thoughts in this way!

A poem is so much more than a string of words. You're invited to email me the text of a poem, or a recording of yourself reading a poem, if you have one that you'd like to share with other listeners.

A transcript of this episode is available at www.mythicmojo.com.

Happy Earth Day and keep the mystery Ibn your life alive!

Myths & stories contain the wisdom of the human race. I want to know how we can keep the mystery in life alive? How can myths connect us to a larger sphere of being & meaning?
