“It’s important to live life with the experience, and therefore the knowledge, of its mystery and of your own mystery. This gives life a new radiance, a new harmony, a new splendor.”
— Joseph Campbell

Haiku inspired by the above quote:
a great mystery
harmony weighs experience
smooth rocks balancing

Indeed, that’s the key
As he said it
“Follow your bliss”
The study of english literature was considered a great career, Joseph Campbell being a great explorer himself and it paid off.
A Bachelor of Arts is frowned upon these days, or should i say for the last two decades? Yes i think it has yet this study encouraged reading and colouring the landscape of the mind.
That is a brilliant observation about harmony
A deeply cut diamond.
