Quote

"Furthermore, we have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heroes of all time have gone before us. The labyrinth is thoroughly known; we have only to follow the thread of the hero path. And where we we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; and where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world."
- Joseph Campbell, "A Hero with a Thousand Faces"

Ding Dong You-Know-Who's Dead!

Augusta was the destination of my day off today, the movie theater to be exact. The purpose: to complete a most epic series with the last installment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. The film was absolutely epic. I may just have to see it in theaters again. Whenever something great ends I feel once again the satisfaction of the ending and an emptiness. When one is so used to the tension, the release can sometimes be less relieving than originally believed. Left is the question "What now?" followed rarely by an answer. At least not right away.

Many of us grew up with Harry Potter. I was slow coming into the series and joining the fan club. Nevertheless, it became a part of me for quite a few years. Now, with all books and movies finished, the series is over. Everything has been said and done. It is complete. Strange it should come at this time in my life when college has been finished for about two months and I must learn to stand on my own feet.

They made it through. Surely I can, too.

Right?

Buck up, Kerry. You will be fine. Everything works out for the best. =)
