Magic Flight – Blog #17
Posted by Mark on November 1, 2009
The hero has reached the peak of his journey and he now must return home. During his return he must dodge those he has angered throughout his journey to reach his home. During this period, a protector accompanies the hero to ensure safety.
When I decided to leave the air force, I packed up all of my belongings and started the twelve hour ride home. My protector was in the passenger seat, a 12-foot albino Burmese python, making sure everything went smoothly (true story). On a more serious note, I believe just the image of being able to be home with my family and friends again would be my “protector” for my return home. With those people in mind I felt calm and at peace for the return home.
I feel that at some point everyone takes that trip back to where they are from or what they call home. If it is a year or fifty years from when they last visited. There is a pull a person feels to their origin and it needs to be revisited atleast once after leaving.
