What do we do when something happens which seems incomprehensible? When an event or season in our lives which we are facing doesn't seem to have context with where we came from before, making it next to impossible to find out where to go next?
Return: Life After Moral Injury offers a kind of map to help make these times in our life understood through a deeper context. We can come to understand that the proverbial "descent into the underworld" is not the end of the story.
We might begin to see that these present struggles are not new at all but have ancient contexts which provide clarity about the pitfalls as well as promises for the journey back home.In these pages, author Marcus Farris examines a variety of questions about how modern storytelling has been influenced by ancient mythologies while tying in recent understandings of the mind-body mystery.
What do the stories of Shrek and The Chronicles of Riddick have in common? What exactly do we mean when we talk about our sacrifices? How can voluntary discomfort become a type of remedy?
And can the process of forgiveness really fix anything? It's time to Return.
