Final reading crawl stats… 190 pages in 3 hours!!

Did a reading crawl with my book bestie today… a great way to spend a Saturday!!

Random book from our personal library.
One of Amy's college textbooks (she's the head counsellor at our local high school).

In a great example of Jung‘s “synchronicity,” I was reading this book as my partner and I began to watch Bill Moyers‘s series of interviews of Joseph Campbell in “The Power of Myth.” Both really struck a cord in emphasizing the need of truly acknowledging oneSelf (both the conscious and the unconscious, the latter thru dreams) and how a psyche well-met can point to useful parallels in the natural sciences, religion and one‘s life‘s meaning.

It's been a musical month!
? An amazing performance of Gershwin's "Rhapsody In Blue" at our local symphony concert.
? Amazing musicians and composers played a mix of Icelandic classical and folk songs. I cried twice.
? I saw Charlotte Loukola play songs from around the world on violin.
? I'm just so proud of our local resistance peeps.
? MisterInBlue. He's just my favorite person.

I read this for my spiritual direction class, and came into it very skeptical—dream work has always seemed a little too woo-woo for me, to be honest. However, I came away from the book with my skepticism assuaged a bit… its idea of dream work as “peeking over the shoulder” of the unconscious drew me in and helped me move past some of my skepticism. While I don‘t see myself engaging with dreams and active imagination ⤵️
