“The first step to the knowledge of the wonder and mystery of life is the recognition of the monstrous nature of the earthly human realm as well as its glory, the realization that this is just how it is and that it cannot and will not be changed. Those who think they know how the universe could have been had they created it, without pain, without sorrow, without time, without death, are unfit for illumination.”  ― Joseph Campbell Object 284 on My Hourglass Collection Hourglass 284 post card, France, 1993 Hourglass 284 Benedictin
