Send Catherine a text Message"Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy. The warrior's approach is to say 'yes' to life: 'yea' to it all."-- Joseph CampbellHow do you stay engaged with the creative potential of this time? How can you participate to bring something positive, necessary, unprecedented, into our constantly evolving world?These questions are in the forefront of my mind. I'm intrigued by Campbell's emphasis on joy, and the suggestion that joy is part of the "warrior's approach." But I wonder what being a "warrior" might look like and if it's a useful image/role for me. I brought these questions to a Buddhist teaching story called "The Tigress Jataka" and share the story and my reflections in this episode.Thanks for listening and keep the mystery in your life alive...Support the showEmail Catherine at [email protected] a positive review on apple podcasts!
