“The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.
The goal of the hero trip down to the jewel point
is to find those levels in the psyche that open, open, open, open,
and finally open to the mystery that is your Self.
Being Buddha consciousness or the Christ
– that’s the journey.” by Joseph Campbell

    Sharon…You are not human…You are an angel sent from heaven to fill the earth with beauty and to spread the word of glory as to what God has created for all to behold. Those of us who cannot personally witness such sights, can be strong in faith knowing that the world is sated with magnificence and not to succumb to one’s concrete surroundings, thanks to you blessing us with your gifts. ..

    Fantastic image and such interesting words. Who is Joseph Campbell?

  • Sharon Mau replied

    Mahalo Tony, thank you so much!

    “Joseph John Campbell (March 26, 1904 – October 30, 1987) was an American mythology professor, writer, and lecturer best known for his work in the fields of comparative mythology and comparative religion. His work is vast and covers many aspects of the human experience, and his philosophy is often identified with the phrase he coined: “Follow Your Bliss”.
