The Dream Quest guidebook says, "whatever question or problem you choose to work on it will reflect something about you and how you are responding to your life situation...

One might think the focus of my dream quest was all about my dilemma of which kind of hiking boot I should buy for a recent backpacking trip. Should I go with a cloth-based shoe that dries fast or a Gore-Tex lined boot that keeps the feet dry? But this was never really a dilemma.

SPIRITUALITY IN MUSIC
A Book Talk by Gayle Woityra
Glad No Matter What
This remarkable book is the author's journal, and as a working-journal in which
the reader may add personal explorative thoughts and feelings on a few pages.

where she grieved the death of her parents and a loved and revered pet, just as
a love-life relationship ended.

Exploring Beyond the Ego Mind
Thinking is a great human pastime. We all think. Whether it is about our
