From the Persian poet Rumi:
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you
Don’t go back to sleep
You must ask for what you really want
Don’t go back to sleep
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
Where the two worlds touch
The door is round and open
Don’t go back to sleep
Contemplation on the Phoenix process:
Named for the mythical Phoenix bird who remains awake through the fires of change, rises from the ashes of death and is reborn into his most vibrant and enlightened self.
Joseph Campbell:
We have not even to risk the adventure alone, for heroes of all time have gone before us. The labyrinth is thoroughly known. We have only to follow the thread of the hero path, and where we had thought to find an abomination, we hsall find a god. And where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves. Where we had thought to travel outward, we will com to the center of our own existence. And where we had thought to be alone, we will be with all the world.
