Ray Hunt on Navigating

This isn’t just some commercial thing; I wouldn’t do it.
This is life.
This is reality.
There’s no rulebook on this and it’s damned hard to grasp because it comes from deep down inside.
I’ve been trying my whole life and I’m still working at it....

Joseph Campbell on Interesting Times

I have read somewhere of an old Chinese curse: "May you be born in an interesting time." This is a very interesting time. There are no models for anything that is going on. It is a period of free fall into the future, and each has to make his or her own way. The old models are not working; the new have not yet appeared. In fact, it is we who are even now shaping of the new in the shaping of our interesting lives. And, that is the whole sense (in mythological terms) of the present challenge: we are the ancestors of an age to come, the unwitting generators of its supporting myths, the mythic models that will inspire its lives.
