Thanks, Glenn!

an ephemeral archive of memory....

In these rooms you may feel lost in a dreamstate
or caught up in an emotion.
Some of the links may take time to appear.
The connections may not be obvious.
Surrender...this is art, not logic.

"Enormous suffering is an intrinsic possibility of every bond; we cannot refuse a relationship because it might bring pain. To reveal one's feeling is to say yes to oneself. Our ingenuousness deludes us into believing we have found a path that excludes this fracture, but in reality, when we have said yes to someone, we have said yes to both life and death."
---Aldo Carotenuto, Eros and Pathos

"Modern romance, like Greek tragedy, celebrates the mystery of dismemberment, which is life in time. The happy ending is justly scorned as a misrepresentation; for the world, as we know it, as we have seen it, yields but one ending: death, disintigration, dismemberment, and the crucifixion of our heart with the passing of the forms we have loved."
--- Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces

"When a myth is enacted in a ritual performance or, in more general, simpler and profaner fashion, when a fairytale is told, the healing factor within it acts on whoever has taken an interest in it and allowed himself to be moved by it in such a way that through this participation he will be brought into connection with an archetypal form of the situation and by this means enabled to put himself 'into order'."
--- Emma Jung and M.L. Von Franz, The Grail Legend
