I like the photos of you facing the sea with your arms outstretched. It gives me thought about what happens to me emotionally when I sail out of harbor into a wide open ocean, with its non-existent land-marks or topographical qualities, or even, when cloud cover exists, no view of the sun or moon or stars to guide me while making a multi day trip at sea. North, East, South and West all look the same. All I really have for direction is the compass and as the hours pass, the compass and my emotions become connected. I start thinking about the questions which you, Martha, have so thoughtfully articulated:
· Who am I and what do I want to achieve?
· Is it constructive or potentially destructive?
· How do I achieve it?
By the time I make landfall my resolutions are reformulated and re-energized. One voyage ends and a new one begins.

Alliterative "Q"! Quintessential Martha. I love it when you are haunted by visions!

As a species we are very inquisitive and always wondering what something means, what is around the next corner, what will happen if we do this or that. A quest is a search for meaning and that is what so many of us seek. The more we stand in awe and wonder of the universe the more we seek to grasp it.. My personal quest is for clarity and understanding the bigger picture of how everything interrelates and works… The Cosmos series with Neil deGrasse Tyson is a great show if you want the big perspective!!!

Quietly, yet quickly, you distill the questions down to their core, Martha. As far as the answers. . . let me sleep on it. . . for a vision or visage surely awaits at the recursive curves of my unconscious mind.

Martha, it's a beautiful piece. It hit home for me as I spent a good deal of my life quelling my feelings and am now dealing with them through my memoir. I am also intrigued by your description of the film which I saw years ago and now want to see again. I see the profile of a beautiful woman as she emerges out of the mist.

My quest, to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless,
No matter how far hahah
Actually, it's to live in the creative world, that it will sustain me. Inspire others, and not only keep the wolf from my door but bring success and bounty.

My quest is to downsize my life so that when I leave this earthly coil, my children will not have to do that.
