I donโt think there is any such thing as an ordinary mortal. Everybody has his own possibility of rapture in the experience of life. All he has to do is recognize it and then cultivate it and get going with it. I always feel uncomfortable when people speak about ordinary mortals because Iโve never met an ordinary man, woman, or child.
Joseph CampbellThe function of ritual, as I understand it, is to give form to human life, not in the way of a mere surface arrangement, but in depth.
