Sounds as if you are heading through the labyrinth as we speak. Turning back and in on yourself, going right by those familiar corners. But remember, although you seem to have been there before something is a little different, a little smaller, per se, maybe closer to the core. Good luck with all of your work and I am so sorry to have missed your presentation last week. The whole family was sick and getting to the city isn't as easy as it was when I was just living the life of a puer!
I'm glad that little comment helped, but you may want to look into the myth of Arachne. She at one time was probably a spider goddess, but by the time of the Olympian myths she became a maiden...much like Ariadne. However, Ariadne's thread is a wonderful metaphor. Given to her by Daedalus to help Theseus out of his predicament, it was a ball of yarn called a "clue" and I think this is pretty self explanatory. The wise old man, the maiden, the hero and the monster, ahh...I love this stuff.
Welcome Chris,
Would enjoy beginning a conversation based upon your choice of picture. Having worked in a few mental institutions and as a depth psychology advocate, we may have much to share. Glad you are with us.

I seem to be too busy lately to get out much myself, but I still feel I'm in the midst of it all. So glad you've joined and I hope you find much to interest you--no doubt you will.
