One of humanity's great teachers.

 

Happy Birthday Joe!

I caught "Snowden" on a flight back from Spain on Wednesday, and at one point in the movie Snowden mentioned Campbell as an influence. If I recall correctly it seemed to be the one thing that raised an eyebrow early in his career. Fascinating movie and well worth the view. No surprise at the end I saw it was an Oliver Stone film. I will likely watch it again.

I've actually been rereading The Hero With A Thousand Faces recently, and finding I appreciate it much more now than when I was in college.

Great man, great mind. 

I recently relistened to The Power of Myth series of talks with Campbell and Bill Moyers and was once again blown away by what a good storyteller Campbell was. After five years in front of a classroom, I can now see how he influenced me as a teacher and encouraged me to find and follow my bliss.

Happy birthday, Joseph Campbell.
