On Myth

Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths - Joseph Campbell

Coming across this quote reminds me that Campbell's four Masks of God volumes sit tantalisingly on my shelves, from where they've tempted and taunted me - occasionally dipped into but never fully absorbed - for nigh on 20 years.  I wonder whether old Joe ever found a myth about procrastination? 

Maybe Proust should wait a while, after all...

On Guests

Dinner, or a weekend with any combination of the following people could be both inspiring and fun...

  • Bill Nighy, for loving Worcester Sauce, Bob Dylan and running about in the wind and rain.
  • Louise Rennison, for having been the first person I've ever seen write down the word "kajonk",
  • Jekka McVicar, for advice on all things herbs
  • Roy Harper, Leonard Cohen, obviously.

Uninspired by the "'I have a nightmare" mantra, are people increasingly afflicted by apocalypse fatigue on climate change?
