Though all partake of archetypal patterns \u2014 marriage, sacrifice, descent, death, rebirth, resurrection (to name a few)\u00a0\u2014\u00a0each is virtually inexpressible except through symbolic or mythopoetic means. Alchemy provided Jung with such a means.<\/p>\n<p>All my life, I have turned to poetry to meet a deep need to try to articulate something of my ineffable inner experience.<\/p>\n<p>In this presentation, I will share with you a selection of these poems from the past five decades of my life that say something of the nature of the individuation path I have followed so far. My hope is that these poems will spark your own search to express the inexpressible mystery in your soul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who set me wandering through my dreams searching for relics of my wings?
