A Soulful Journey

"There are three centers of what might be called mythological and folkloristic creativity in the Middle Ages.  One is the cathedral and all that is associated with monasteries and hermitages. A second is the castle. The third is the cottage , where the people are. The cathedral, the castle, and the cottage - you go to any of the areas of high civilization, and you will see the same - the temple, the palace, and the town." -Joseph Campbell , The Power of Myth Is this true of America as a whole?  What about your town?  Perhaps the same exists even in your family?   Roles are divided and played out... It is said that the greatest wisdom is in recognizing truth ; the one that lies before us.  

  Did it ever happen that what you heard was not what you were told?  And what you said was not what was understood? That is why it is always good to ask questions.  That way you get the message.   Questions also establish interest. It shows that we care enough to investigate. A grandmother took her grandson to St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan.  She showed him many parts of the magnificent structure.  Finally, they came to the altar. “Under here.” She pointed, “is where all the cardinals are buried." ”The boy looked on in amazement and asked, “You mean the whole team?” Always ask.  It is the way of truth.  It is the way of Torah.
