Of the spirit

Myth is the public dream, and dream is the private myth. - Joseph Campbell



There is something almost cellular about my connection to this image.
It is associated with what must be a very early memory of mine. I believe that the memory could be even earlier that that; it could be a "universal one," in the Jungian sense.
The image also reminds me of the feeling I had in an important dream.
This was a dream that many of us have experienced. I can only describe it as a visit from the one I identify as my "spirit guide." The room in which we sat had the same mood as the photo above.
There is also a mystery about how it is I became attracted to the image.
It was a tiny "thumbnail" in an entire page of little images categoriezed as encompassing the Middle East. I clicked on it to enlarge it and became connected. It was positively synergystic.
There is no explanation except that IT IS - and I AM.
My topical post today at South by Southwest is about the Middle East.
