“Myth is a compound of images, actions, and patterns, rooted not in thought but feeling.” — Joseph Campbell

Myth is a theorem that thinks about the nature of reality and expresses those thoughts in narrative form. From a mythical perspective, images and characters in the stories reference powers operative in the human heart that act as agents of transformation. Synthetic rather than analytic, these rhythmic readings record the polyphonic resonance that occurs between the physical, emotional, and psychological levels of human experience.
