Statement: The Essence of Timeless Myths (06/05/'24)

Statement: The Essence of Timeless Myths (Echoes of the Human Heart) Myths are not mere whispers of the cosmos, not just tales of stars and skies untold. They are woven into the very fabric of human existence, capturing the essence of our fragile, fleeting grace. These ancient stories, born from the depths of time, speak not of the physical universe but of the human heart in its sacred dance. In fire and flood, in night and day, myths unveil our deepest fears and hopes, reflecting the core of our existence. They are not just about gods and earth, but about the love and loss, the strife and joy, that shape our lives. In their shadows and light, we find mirrored every joy and plight, every tear and song that define us. These myths are not just cosmological schemes but human narratives. They whisper of our tears, our songs, our mirth, grounding themselves in the essence of what it means to be human. They speak to our souls, making us whole by revealing the truths that beat within our hearts. No longer can we see myths as mere explanations of the cosmos. They are the echoes of our wildest dreams, the stories of our humankind. In every myth, an echo rings of all the depths our spirit sings, inviting us to read with open minds and hearts. In the ancient tales, we seek our place, our part, finding the heartbeat of myths within the stories of our own lives. The heartbeat that reminds us that we are more than just stardust—we are the very essence of these timeless stories. Pastor Steven G. Lee (June 5, 2024)
