Dream & Myth

Dream is the personalized myth, myth the depersonalized dream; both myth and dream are symbolic in the same general way of the dynamics of the phyche. But in the dream the forms are quirked by the peculiar troubles of the dreamer, whereas in myth the problems and solutions shown are directly valid for all mankind. (H, 19)

renewal

As a million nights,
the sun shines through
the inocence of dawn and
gives birth in the day

A birth to celebrate
and renew the meaning
of what was
and will be

At the table of the grail

« We are all Grails to some degree, lesser or greater; but we are empty vessels until we offer ourselves to be filled by the light. »
