Hero



When I see a salmon, it reminds me of the hero’s journey. It’s a common theme in plots from Lord of the Rings to The Hangover. One goes out; one comes back. Leaving is a breeze. But the return can be rough.
 
That’s because getting home is never easy: climbing ladders, pushing upstream, leaping over obstacles. We can only imagine the story of a salmon. But our story is one we create.
