What's Your Quest?

As a collector of crystals and gemstones, I was drawn to this smokey quartz seer stone.  Seer stones are natural river polished stones that are cut on one side so that you can see within.  They are said to be an aid to meditate on the past, present and future.  I just think they are lovely to look at and hold.

On my last day at primary school, back in the early '70's,  my class teacher gave each child some words of wisdom.  We were to go up to his desk one at a time and he would write down and whisper some words that were applicable to each child.  To me he whispered 'seek and you shall find' and I have been seeking ever since!  I have a quest for knowledge.  I want to know everything about everything and as my Mum once said 'you want to know the ins and outs of a cats ear hole' or words to that effect!!!

It can be quite a tiring feat in seeking and finding.  The more I find the more I want to seek.  I have so much to discover that it would take several lifetimes to ever have 'enough' knowledge.

Do you have a quest in life?  I have listed some suggestions below.  Some apply to me and others don't. 

  • discover the secret of eternal youth
  • research a family tree
  • reach the top of your profession
  • provide a loving and stable home
  • open an animal sanctuary
  • provide for those in 'need'
  • bake the ultimate cake
  • climb a mountain
  • write a book
What's your quest?
