Read more about Chris' Vision Quest in The Vision Quest		Vision Quest Chris ' Journal, July 27, 1998 During our stay in Sheridan I was given one of those rare opportunities to step back from life for a moment, or I guess others would argue it was stepping "into life". We had already been on the road for almost a month and I had learned a great deal, had many experiences, seen so much, and met many interesting people. Our pace constant: all go go go.

And it doesn't always take a vision quest to center ourselves; an hour here or there, a walk in the park, a glass of wine while listening to Mozart may do it for you.
