Patrick was a friend and kindred spirit to me - even though our time together were short. Having the best of times, while fighting demons. For me, his victories made him a hero and I learned from his experiences. When I think of him now, this bit from Joseph Campbell comes to mind. We do not even have to risk the adventure alone; for the heroes of all time have gone before us, the path is fully known; we have only to follow the thread of the hero-path. And where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world. Joseph Campbell
