In the end, the quest is very personal. It is you and your thoughts and your prayers to the Great Spirit. There is no blueprint for vision questing, no checklist of do’s and don’ts. Just you, the powers, and isolation. If you vision quest only once in your life, at least you took time with the Creator as to why you are here. Afterward, you, the vision quester, will be better prepared to use the special gifts with which the Great Spirit endowed you to join with those concerned ones who seek to help this planet.
