This article really resonates with what’s going on in my life right now and I imagine anyone who’s been away from home has struggled with the how and why of returning home. I’ve been away three years now and as an adult, I realize that going back may be harder than the original departure. The after and extended stay the real question becomes, “Where is home?”

So true, and so beautifully written. I can sense Campbell himself in your words. Thank you for this — Campbell is such an incredible writer. An accessible thinker, and at the very core, a storyteller.

“Campbell understood why myth continues to resonate in the modern heart: because it is a cord tethered to the past, a link to the basic elements of the human equation and our common nature.”

It’s so true…
