“I have always thought of a myth as something that never was but is always happening.”-- Jean Houston, The Possible Human

Eros and Psyche, or Cupid and Psyche to the Romans, a marvelous old myth about love, soul, and what's required to unite the two. Apuleius included this story in The Golden Ass (also called The Metamorphoses) from the late 2nd century AD, drawing on ancient Greek sources.

I've worked with this story many times. I often feel that I am living some part Psyche's journey, or turning to a moment in the tale that presents the perfect metaphor for the task at hand. 

Sorting seeds. Sending up a prayer in the form of tears. Lighting a lamp to dispel an inner darkness. 

Lately, I'm hungry for the active relaxation in the space of story and the insights that arise without effort. Perhaps you are too. 

Hope you find something wonderful and mysterious in this story. I'll  unpack some of the themes and reflect on this myth in the next episode. Thanks for listening.
