Laura Marling – Rambling Man from Pulse Films on Vimeo.
I’m sitting in my office at the end of the day enjoying Laura Marling’s I Speak Because I Can. Have a listen if you are not familiar with her work. I love both her soulful voice and her songwriting.
The wonder of animation. There is both old and new in this beautiful short. Enjoy.
As a devotee of the art of storytelling I am a big fan of Joseph Campbell’s work in comparative mythology. He had a gift for revealing the fundamental elements common in stories across cultures and exploring how they can (and do) work in our daily lives.
I recently came across this blog by James Baquet which provides a solid overview of Campbell’s major themes. If you are unfamiliar with Campbell’s work this is a perfect place to start the journey.
As wonderful as Campbell’s writing is, (The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Myths to Live By , etc…) listening to him share his passion and insight in conversation is where I find him most inspiring. If you’ve never seen/heard The Power of Myth with Bill Moyers I strongly urge you to do so. The Wisdom of Joseph Campbell with Michael Toms is not as well known but is also worth hearing.
“You may not be a Picasso or Mozart but you don’t have to be. Just create to create. Create to remind yourself you’re still alive. Make stuff to inspire others to make something too. Create to learn a bit more about yourself.”
