Alongside the novels, I have been dipping into A Joseph Campbell Companion, (thank you
@patrick_oshag !) which I have been opening each night this summer before bed to read and reflect on a few pages or a chapter. I am a huge Joseph Campbell fan, and his reflections on myth, meaning, and the art of living are a quiet, grounding way to end the day.
A friend also gave me David R. Hawkins’ Power vs. Force. I read some of his work years ago, and enjoyed returning to his exploration of the difference between power cultivated within and force imposed from without.
