Grind The Map - Tom Cowin
Grind The Map
Grind The Map is an Orphic journey following a voice though Brighton and the South Downs using James Hillman’s The Dream The Underworld as its guidebook and map. The dream should be met and cared for in its own realm, not brought into the dayworld by an imperialist ego. Abandon growth and settle. Sometimes the myth has a happy ending for Orpheus.
