The Vision Quest
I remember, vividly, when Grand-
father began to explain the Vision
Quest. Rick and I were very young and
had known Grandfather only a year or
so. We had heard many stories about
Visions—of both his own and those of
other people—and we knew that the
Vision Quest was Grandfather's guiding
force, not only in matters of the spirit,
but throughout everyday life. Whenever
he spoke of the Quest, it was with the
highest reverence and humility. The
Quest seemed so abstract and yet so
real; a vivid connection to the things
beyond the senses, beyond the material,
beyond what was to him the superficial
nature of life outside of the wilderness.
The Quest seemed to hold all the an-
swers to all the questions of life.Berkley books by Tom Brown, Jr.
