Confronting the Minotaur






"It's not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult."
Seneca




The minotaur, a bull-like creature that lived in a labyrinth on the island of Crete, represents all our inner demons---attachments, fears, failings in love and work. We can tame this monster inside by acknowledging it.....knowing it is there, and making peace with it.
