Marsilio Ficino (1997) Letters on the Soul

Joseph Campbell (1988) The Power of Myth

Alone But Not Lonely A friend asks if I'm lonely sheltered-at-home, nowhere to go— computer labs and libraries closed in this coronavirus pandemic. Seeing sages serene and still even amidst lots of action, I try to be likewise— alone but not lonely in these times. No television, computer, cell-phone, credit card, or a car, yet I'm happy without these toys to keep me busy and content. KDFC's classical music lifts up my spirit, Renoir's paintings— a visual delight, poems by Rilke and Rumi— always nourishing. My mind takes flight while reading Ramana's Talks, PB's Notebooks, Ficino's Letters on the Soul and Joseph Campbell's Power of Myth. Emails from world's foremost futurist, greetings from Dalai Lama's best friend, new paintings from best graphic artist, essays from a happiness mentor, surprise emails from long-lost friends that we are all linked together like Net of Indra in our flight from alone to the Alone.     — Peter Y.
