The hero’s journey always begins with the call. One way or another, a guide must come to say, ‘Look, you’re in Sleepy Land. Wake. Come on a trip. There is a whole aspect of your consciousness, your being, that’s not been touched. So you’re at home here? Well, there’s not enough of you there.’ And so it starts.
– Joseph Campbell

This book is so well written it is practically impossible to put down and the photos are a joy and a delight. The author is a wise and wonderful woman who reminds me of what I already know and gives me a kick in the right direction.
I found Janet Maker’s book to be not only an extraordinary accomplishment but also a rewarding read in many senses. The sharing of personal as well as travel experiences make it entertaining as well. Read it and enjoy!
