Questing in Action

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

Agatha Christie

Questing after something that you stand for, that you believe in, that you desire to experience, is the ultimate experience of being alive. Your Quest may be dangerous, frightening or tiring, but it will also be educational, inspiring and a journey of deep self-discovery. When we Quest, we become unreasonable – determined to find a way to our destination, no matter what. We know the way will be challenging and frightening, but we are buoyed up by the mysteries of life that come to meet us when we cross the threshold.
