...to expand one's individuality beyond established meanings, to seek meaning not on the terms of the culture we live in but to mindfully define it on our own terms, to push the edge of what is known and to embody the life of the myth we have ourself created or discovered, to claim will and responsibility in the face of seemingly blind determinism...
D. Feinstein, S. Krippner
Mystic is the place I call home.
It is a place where I am known. It is a place I know. It is a place from where I have been summoned to go to places that I don't know, where I am not known, places of unknown forces and unknown powers. It is a place from which I am summoned to take great leaps into the wild, blue yonder.
And it is the place I return to.
And when I return, to see this place's mystery with new eyes.
Tripping hard is the conscious, wilfull intent to move from the known to the unknown, from the predictable and the comfortable to the unpredictable, to move from the stagnant, static and repetitious, to the vital, dynamic and creative.
I have returned to the Mystic to see with the new eyes of new experience, and to await the summons for the next leap into the wild blue yonder, the further narratives of the voyages of the bloody, snake chariot ( www.libbyhome.blogspot.com ).
