Eternity in an Hour: Urashima Taro

Send us Fan MailTo see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hourfrom "Auguries of Innocence" by William Blake Among the paradoxes posed by Blake, I find the notion of "eternity in an hour" particularly compelling. Events of the past year have changed our relationship to time. I wonder how to retain the gifts as we move into spring, fresh starts, and new life. How to remain in the still point as the wheel begins to spin. In this episode I tell a Japanese fairy tale about the fisherman Urashima Taro, which leads me to thoughts about the power of stories to collapse time, and one of Joseph Campbell's observations about art, wonder, and aliveness. Support the showEmail Catherine at [email protected] a positive review on apple podcasts!
