Honestly, beloved Jack, Joseph Campbell is my all time hero, and YOU are an archetype. My favorite is when he said “as the sunflower turns its face toward the Sun, a million effects of nature are working benevolently on us when we’re outside, completely without our knowledge.”
So you can imagine what he’d say looking at us now tethered to our devices, ignoring Nature, and see a direct line to the current chaos! I do consider you divinely inspired and a man for this moment. One Love from Jamaica!
Have been feeling a bit disconnected today because I can’t be out on the streets tomorrow being counted while exercising my rights to dissent with my cohorts.
Your words and Campbell’s helped me remember that only my feet are “stuck.” So, tomorrow I will engage online, I will promote and I will do my job well and fully so that others will know their beloved pets’ needs are being met by a loving caregiver in their absence.
Small things, perhaps, in the grand scheme of things, but my responsibilities and I will do them with joy.
