There is a pivotal juncture in every Heroine’s Journey when she stands alone. Sometimes instinctually, she is led by the depth of her convictions to take a stand – to name the unaddressed – to call out of hiding the secret malaise in her community. She arrives at a standpoint not without doubts, but in spite of them. And worse than the criticism such disobedience can invite, is her rejection from the group which is at odds with her truth. But the silent prayer which keeps her company in the night is that it is not for her critics that she raises her voice, but for those who would otherwise be made voiceless.
