Everyone lives a personal “hero’s journey”.
The Bumpy Road shows how culture clash is a muse for creative
transformation. It tells the story of childhood followed by adolescent
confusion.
A boy struggles to become a man by buying into institutions that did not
work for him: marriage to a woman whose
entire self-concept was tied to “the relationship”; academia where as a science
student success is about publish or perish; the old boy club where lies and
back-stabbing were rampant.
The 60’s culture came and personal
chaos ensued. Relying on mental hospitals to correct these institutional evils
created new problems. But the human spirit is resilient.
The Bumpy Road details how the habit of going to the hospital for help was
broken and how a new artistic identity emerged. Exposure to cultural diversity
provided opportunities. New struggles and successes were encountered in Mexico.
Reading The Bumpy Road promotes self-examination and encourages
transformation
