“A myth... is a metaphor for a mystery beyond human comprehension. It is a comparison that helps us understand, by analogy, some aspect of our mysterious selves. A myth, in this way of thinking, is not an untruth but a way of reaching a profound truth.” ~Christopher Vogler Do you agree or disagree? What's your favorite myth?

Myths

Metaphors or mysteries,
myths reveal humanities dreams
and desires;
they are enigmas
the soul must unravel.

Each age
creates its own
heroes, villains, and myths,
while reinterpreting
yesterday's myths and legends.

Creation myths
(my personal favorites)
reveal secrets
that only the human soul
can comprehend
once it ascends
into the spiritual realm.
