A Hero's Journey on Earth


by Sandra (‘Chantal’) Setton-Mariani

What is a HERO’S journey?
It is to know that “Irreplaceable despair” can be transformed into an illusion,
It is to know that wrenching emotional pain can be transcended,
It is to know that fear, in all its crippling attempts
And clever disguises--
Is indeed the real fraud! It is only
F_alse E_vidence A_ppearing R_eal!
For the one who believes
The deceit of a familiar thief
Finds himself WED TO A CROOK!
Never a moment’s PEACE,
Never an instant’s JOY:
Fearing death--fearing life--AND ALL THAT IS IN BETWEEN!
What blessings to shift to another DIMENSION;
To change perspective,
To share only LOVE,
To speak only TRUTH,
To FIND perfection IN THE HEART OF IMPERFECTION…
The journey is radically DIFFERENT when aligned with infinite intelligence;
When death is not feared,
When you make the discovery that you came here because you are among the few
Who had the courage to embark on this HERO’s journey on earth.
It is fitting when you know that upon returning home
You will receive--a HERO’S welcome.
