“Nature, psyche, and life appear to me
like divinity unfolded—
what more could I ask for?”

Carl Jung in an interview with Hans Carol

Obscure . . . you know, like so much of this “depth stuff”!! Thomas Moore referenced it when he came to our classes at Pacifica (around 1995). But by then, his “Care of the Soul” book had taken off. I’m sure that he and Hillman had some interesting conversations regarding Ficino.
We have an entire sky within us, our fiery strength
and heavenly origin: Luna which symbolizes the
continuous motion of soul and body. Mars speed and
Saturn slowness, the Sun God, Jupiter law, Mercury
reason, and Venus humanity.
—Marsilio Ficino, letter to Lorenzo
the Magnificent

Thanks, Kelly. The daily onslaught is hard to take at times, as I’m sure you know. What a bitch of a fix we find ourselves in! I’m wondering what you felt about attending Eranos? Was it timely, or overly clinical-focused? Expansive or consulting room stuff?

You’ll just have to go back! I’ve been to Florence 3 times and still don’t get over it. For sure it’s my ‘happy escape zone’ . . . . now more than ever.
The Greek god Morpheus brought dreams to the sleeping, which upon waking, would motivate them toward action.
