The Hero's Journey

THE HERO’S JOURNEY BY DAN BEAM, ACRYLIC ON CANVAS

Before the journey, ask the question…”Where do I begin?”

And watch a tangle of images and allegories come rolling forth:

overripe and fading fruit,

a house plant that needs repotting

I don’t know if I am creating or leaving me,

I only know that I am dressed and ready…
