The Thirteenth Hour Podcast #461: The Hero’s Journey and Travelling
https://archive.org/download/podcast-461/Podcast%20461.mp3
This week’s podcast episode was inspired by some recent travels and a few articles cited in the podcast that gave some helpful ideas on how to deal with the potential hardships that inevitably will occur when you are traveling: 1.) breathe!, 2.) be open to change, 3.) be helpful, 4.) be thankful, 5.) be open to wonder, and 6.) to paraphrase a often used Chinese expression – eating bitter helps you taste sweet.
Though travelling inevitably can be stressful (hopefully in a good way), but it’s one that also brings to mind a concept described by Joseph Campbell, the hero’s (or heroine’s) journey – involving a usually reluctant protagonist who is called or forced into action and has to grow from their current (usually unassuming state) to become the hero that is needed. After a series of trials, they, if successful, achieve their goal and return back home changed by the experience. A lot of the films that inspired The Thirteenth Hour had this general structure – The Rocketeer, The Last Starfighter (reluctant heroes), The Neverending Story (unassuming hero – a child – goes on a desperate quest), Labyrinth (teenage girl goes on a quest to save her brother) – so it’s no wonder Logan’s journey in the story follows a similar structure.
Thanks for listening!
