CHERYL EKSTROM : SETTING FORTH

Film by Eric Minh Swenson. Those who set forth, in life as in literature, find storms, monsters, love, treasure, magic, and home. You don’t know how a journey will go, only that you must make it. The hero, the poet Rilke writes, is always beyond himself into the next adventure. Some say it takes courage to go beyond, to leave behind the known for the unknown, the mystery without which there is no adventure. Some say it takes a laughing heart to go beyond, some say the steel of necessity, some say a wild abandon, some say trust. What there can be no doubt about is that to go beyond – in life, death, love, art, in anything – you must set forth. For more info on Eric Minh Swenson visit his website at thuvanarts.com.
