Looking Breathlessly

Laurie Anderson: Freefall
Orchestra Baobab: Utru Horas

Furthermore, we have not even
to risk the adventure alone;
for the heroes of all time
have one before us,
the labyrinth is fully known;
we have only to follow the thread
of the hero-path. And where we
had thought to find an abomination,
we shall find a god; where we
had thought to slay another,
we shall slay ourselves;
where we had thought
to travel outward,
we shall come to the center
of our own existence;
where we had thought to be alone,
we shall be with all the world.
--Joseph Campbell

For me there is only
the traveling on paths
that have heart,
on any path that may have heart,
and the only worthwhile challenge
is to traverse its full length
--and there I travel looking,
looking breathlessly.
--Carlos Castaneda
