The Dream of One’s Life

Here is a nice little promotional video by mythologist Michael Meade for his book, Fate and Destiny: The Two Agreements of the Soul. I am not yet familiar with that book, but I have read his book The Water of Life and the anthology of poetry that he edited with Robert Bly and James Hillman.  I have also heard Meade speak. He is an engaging storyteller and his work is well worth knowing.

Some take away quotes from the video:

"The question isn't, 'Do I have a calling?'  The question is,  'Have I heard it?'"

"One of our key responsibilities in life -- separate from career, separate from family, separate from anything else -- is to live out [our] dream, to respond to [our] calling, and to unfold our life from within."
