The zodiacal constellations and the myths and stories surrounding them have been understood in many ways by the many different kinds of men. To some of the mystically minded they have been and still are rich repositories of hidden wisdom.
The Song of Laughing Boy is a journey or a voyage, following the path of the sun along the ecliptic, listening for the voice of truth and goodness and beauty along the way. It is a mystical search for the treasures of inner peace and transcendence. The laughing boy’s song is the song of the light within the heart of everyman.
“Sing the songs of east and west, of north and south. Sing of the bull, the lion, the eagle and the man. Sing of the centre where the laughing boy sings and the maidens dance their dance of pure delight. Sing of the beauty of the heavens whose eternal light of peace falls soft upon the head of the happy warrior below, giving aid and reassurance to him, the man in arms, who falls and rises, and falls to rise for evermore.”
