Some years ago, about 15, I began my Hero Journey, it began with my gradual abandonment of the familiar and my descent into the unknown. I did not know here at the time, but Maria began her hero journey at the same time.

Tonight, I felt the call to read about the Hero Journey from Joseph Campbell’s wonderful book, Pathway To Bliss, in the chapter titled The Self As Hero. I dedicate this reading to Maria, and also to myself. We both survived.

I feel the need to somehow commemorate this journey, it changed my life. I believe it changed Maria’s as well.
