As I delved deeper into Campbell’s insights, I began to understand the intricate dance of trials, triumphs, and transformations that define the hero’s path.

The ocean calls each morning as the sun prepares to crest over the horizon to start a new day.  Adi and I drive to the shore each morning as the amber hues dot the sky and we set the tone for the day.  All possibilities exist in this space and our state of mind determines which path we will take.  Will we see possibility, or will we see a roadblock?  Both are available and it is only our perception that decides how we will move forward.
