Myths and Me (A Love Story)
#2
RE: Myths and Me (A Love Story)
Something that's always reminded me of you that was on the beginning of The Power of Myth TV series that I think you'll get as relates to what you're trying to describe:

There’s a story that Joseph Campbell tells. An American delegate at an international conference on religion was trying to figure out what a Japanese Shinto priest was about. “We’ve been now to a good many ceremonies and have seen quite a few of your shrines. But I don’t get your ideology. I don’t get your theology.” The priest paused as though in deep thought, and then slowly shook his head. ‘I think we don’t have ideology,’ he said. ‘We don’t have theology. We dance.”
