"One thing that comes out of myths is that at the bottom of the abyss comes the voice of salvation. The black moment is the moment when the real message of transformation is going to come. At the darkest moment comes the light."
~ Joseph Campbell

Oh, I like this quote. I love Joseph Campbell. I really love how eloquently he points out that many many cultures have the same fundamental myths. Makes me feel closer to the rest of humanity.
I love this quote Calli.
'At the darkest moment comes the light" a beautiful quote and image, Katie
Hi, Calli.
I was given the link to your blog by Katie. I have arrived on your doorstep on one of my darkest nights, but now I see a glimmer of light.
THank you.

Wonderful Calli, I will revisit this shining star of hope often. Thank you for posting it, and I absolutely love the image you chose.
This is a beautiful photograph and beautiful quote. It makes me think of this: O Wind, if Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
