Pilgrimage is a powerful metaphor for any journey with the purpose of finding something that matters deeply to the traveler.

Myths are experienced in ordinary life, as everyday epiphanies.

The journey of the hero is about the courage to seek the depths; the image of creative rebirth; the eternal cycle of change within us; the uncanny discovery that the seeker is the mystery which the seeker seeks to know. The hero journey is a symbol that binds, in the original sense of the word, two distant ideas, the spiritual quest of the ancients with the modern search for identity, “always the one, shape-shifting yet marvelously constant story that we find.

Inspiration is a message-in-a-bo ttle from the distant shore, a window into the other world, a tap of the muse's finger, the grace of the gods. It comes when you least expect it.

What every traveler confronts sooner or later is that the way we spend each day of our travel...is the way we spend our lives.

That which you are looking for may be calling you to seek.

There is an unknown room in the soul that is constantly turning the stuff of daydreams into myths for us, helping us to get at meaning we can't get to through the front door.
