I have longed for and tried many times before to send myself on a vision quest. I never knew what I expected, and tried way too hard to force the quest. I was always trying to be in control. To put the vision into my head that I felt was needed or wanted at the time. It has always failed. I long ago have moved past the puberty stage and should have settled into a direction long ago. I have always been on a journey, but never one that I was felt was my true calling. I have wandered without a compass for too long.
Last week amongst the wild and the birds at Bosque Del Apache, things just fell into a sharp and defined heading for me. I feel that I have a true vision quest to follow, and it all came from a bunch of birds, go figure.

Shelia…thanx for your kind words. I was making photos of another bird when this guy’s shadow came over me. He circled overhead for a good 3-4 minutes….God Spede…jim
