The three stories, in this book of fiction, tell compelling tales of the many archetypes we encounter while on our individual and collective journeys of self realization. From the tale of Grandpa’s Garden, we accompany the young Innocent on an inner journey as the Wise Old Man instructs him on the endless cycles of death and rebirth. Using the metaphor of the garden, we walk with the child through the transformation process mindful of proper care for the seeds we sow.
In the story Highway we meet the archetype of the young Wanderer as he embarks, in true Joseph Campbell style, on a transformational Hero’s Journey. We travel with him as he crosses the country thumbing rides, meeting many engaging outer figures who mirror his own inner process. We go along for the ride and experience his ups and downs, victories and defeats, until at last the road warrior emerges as the hero.
Finally in Hearing Music we witness the Wise Old Man and Wise Old Woman reflecting on their journey through life together, coming face to face with, and accepting, their destiny.
