Poetry is language against which you have no defence

In my early 30s I began to consider the mythic as a novel ‘aesthetic’. Calling myself “a wizard” was infinitely preferable to calling myself a “thought leader”, a “futurist” or a “consultant”. The archetype of wizard was much more enlivening and expansive; the mythic quality to it that appealed to me. And still does.

All of this sounds like co-creating a world more curious and kind (and a future less grim). I’m so down for this.
