Quest

A quest involving traveling from the West Coast to the Midwest to express a debt of gratitude to individuals for their long ago graciousness toward me. In a world of selfishness and greed, selfless Goodness must never go unacknowledged. A quest to renew acquaintances with long-ago friends and reminisce about the childhood years we shared. I met one of my childhood playmates. My soul was swallowed up in an emotional deluge as I cried and held him tight. A quest to see places and communities I once roamed and called my home. The end game of this quest unveiled emotions difficult to describe. I was a stranger 50 years removed. So much of what I once touched and handled was no longer there. I wept inside. A quest to share the presence of the pastor who officiated our wedding. My long-awaited desire to see once again a hero of mine was accomplished some 2 years before his demise. This quest that was initiated more than 15 years ago, is alive and well. Some of this quest I'm on has been accomplished, creating deep joy and tears of satisfaction that are hard to describe. I am very blessed.
