It is always in your best and highest interest as well as in the best and highest interest of others to be present in your now and then you will catch on more easily to appreciating the moment.

Practice Grace. Grace is a natural way of responding to and appreciating your life through your heart. Feel your way through your day. Pay attention to your emotions as well as your lack of them. If you had a tale that wagged when you were in a good direction or moment, feel that in your heart and let that lead.

Please be aware even when you are uncertain. This willingness to let it in puts you in a state of allowing which will bring you closer to your source vibration-your natural way. Simultaneously, let it go through you.

Realize all ways. You may feel good about some and neutral and not so good about others. It does not matter except what feels good for you.

Eventually you have begun to filter out what does not serve you. You have learned to pay attention to your own life, your own business. It serves no one to involve yourself unsolicited or otherwise in another’s business.

Come to your senses. Literally become one with your own feelings as you go about your day. Be glad your inner guidance – or early warning system – is up and running.

Interrupt less than positive thoughts. Hit the delete button. It lets you know where you thought you thought you were going. In fact if you were thinking the interrupted thought you were activating a low vibration of a “some” day situation.

Always say Thank You. Say it to others. Say it to God.

Teach others by allowing them to see this good feeling and the authentic person you are.

Easy. It is all meant to be easy. Appreciate that.

Before he left, I watched him measure and cut 405 pieces of colorful cloth, pinch 405 clumps of tobacco, pray 405 separate times and string 405 prayer ties together; a common ritual prior to this vision quest. I watched him eliminate his cup of coffee, his sweet treat before bed, and his daily news fix. I watched him pack his bag, load his truck and drive away.

Even now I am moved to tears as I think of his unbelievable strength and sacrifice.

This was Danny’s first Native American vision quest and my first time supporting a “questor”. I have to say it is on my list of the top five things I’ve witnessed another human being endure and accomplish.

At this present moment, traditional sentences and complete thoughts can not come close to conveying my level of appreciation for my husband and his chosen spiritual path. Because of this, I have decided to write about the moment, I first saw him and the other vision quest participants after their four days of solitude and fasting, in phrases that make sense to me:

Drums pounding
Voices chanting
Flute singing

They’re almost home!

Sun shining
Wind whispering
Leaves falling

They’re almost home!

Eyes spotting
Heart skipping
Tears flowing

They’re almost home!

Feet stumblingVNative American Vision Quest
Arms raising
Smiles radiating

They’re home!

Souls recognizing
Eyes locking
Spirits connecting

He’s home!

Ancients witnessing
Ancestors celebrating
World elevating

Thank you Vison Quest – ors.
Welcome home!

There are so many moments in time to appreciate. Some are big and life changing while others are tiny and heart touching. The size of the event is insignificant. All that matters is that you noticed. Please take the time to be aware of life’s gifts, big and small. We are so blessed. Thank you Vision Quest – ers!
