Splash du Jour: Monday

In typical holiday fashion, I am intent upon sleeping-in like a tranquilized rhinoceros!
It's the after-effect (well... one of them) of already ingesting too much sauerkraut.
Hence, this belated Splash du Jour.
But I hope there is still enough of Monday left for me to wish you a happy one!


One of the most profoundly relevant thinkers I have ever read.
Joseph Campbell.

"Read myths. They teach you that you can turn inward, and you begin to get the message of the symbols. Read other people's myths, not those of your own religion, because you tend to interpret your own religion in terms of facts - but if you read the other ones, you begin to get the message. Myth helps you to put your mind in touch with this experience of being alive. Myth tells you what the experience is."
-- from The Power of Myth, by Joseph Campbell -- 1904-1987 --

Have a great Monday, at least what's left of it!
