about

This Hindu story, "The King and the Corpse," is one of my favorites, rich in metaphor, humor, riddles, and insight.

A king spends a long night with a talking corpse and realizes a profound truth. No spoilers-- so I'll end on this note: you may also learn something about the power of story to teach, transform, and awaken.

I hope this story provides you with a few sweet moments of respite and reflection. Take good care of yourself in this liminal time of the year (Halloween, Samhain around the corner) and remember that you are not alone.

A transcript of this episode is available at www.mythicmojo.com.Thanks for listening!
