about

“A myth is an image in terms which we try to make sense of the world.” Alan Watts

Many stories, old and new, begin with someone leaving home. This leave taking comes in many forms, from answering the call of destiny to running away or being abandoned.

Whatever the circumstances or intent, “leaving home” entails letting go of the familiar to engage the mystery.

In this podcast I explore this image of “leaving home” with the aid of a few stories and poems, to consider our shared challenge of these crazy, interesting times--- to let go and make room for the new. What does the image of “leaving home” hold for you right now?

“Your soul knows the geography of your destiny. Your soul alone has the map of your future, therefore you can trust this indirect, oblique side of yourself…” John O’Donohue

The poems read in this podcast include:

“Unfold Your Own Myth” (“Shams”) by Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks
“Self Portrait” by David Whyte
“Unlived Life” by Dawna Markova
