yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom;
seek learning, even by study and also by faith."

The "accidental encounter" as a call to adventure

I - Departure
    1 - The Call To Adventure

"...one of the ways in which the adventure can begin.  A blunder - apparently the merest chance - reveals an unsuspected world, and the individual is drawn into a relationship with forces that are not rightly understood.  As Freud has shown, blunders are not the merest chance, the are the result of suppressed desires and conflicts.  They are the ripples on the surface of life, produced by unsuspected springs.  And these may be very deep - as deep as the soul itself.  The blunder may amount to the opening of a destiny."

Joseph Campbell
