Our Hero's Journey

Millions of people were born before us and many millions more will be born after us. None of them have experienced or will experience the same adventures as us, just as none of them have achieved or will achieve the same goals as us. In "The Hero with a Thousand Faces", Joseph Campbell illustrates the 17 stages of the "hero's journey", a trace hidden in the weave of the story and yet always present: the hero, the heroine and their stories change, but the moments that mark the rhythm of their journey remain unchanging. Here I am retracing these stages by deliberating on our daily lives, a light-hearted reflection to pique our curiosity.
