Really a special Whisper! I love the way you laid out your hero's journey in an integrative diagram, making it easier to see the movement and structure of your thought. I agree that expression of transformation through mythopoesis is so much more satisfying and revelatory than the language of philosophy or theology (important as they are!). I have followed a similar trajectory moving through the disciplines of theology and philosophy into the realms of music and poetry based the fruits of my study. Music, poetry, and story trump conceptual language every time when it comes to discovering and experiencing the ancient Greek ideals of truth, beauty, and goodness. Your diagram and explanation seem to me the perfect outline for a Sky Veil hero's journey novel! Following your journey , one so unique and special, has been a joy. PS Keep the Herald's happy and don't short them on their musical intros!!!

Thank you Patricia! I am so happy that it resonated. I was hoping I could bring more clarity to what the Sky-Veil is all about. It's very difficult to communicate! I am sort of following in your footsteps, only years behind and with far less talent :-D. But you are right - poetry, story, myth, and song are ultimately the way it has to be presented. The Heralds represent that mythopoetic, musical perspective. Maybe I can turn this into a novel someday as you suggest! The thought has crossed my mind. In the meantime, I'll make sure not to aggravate the Heralds anymore! But no promises. They can be hard to manage prima donnas!
