During
the 8 years Jeremy Youst and I have been holding folks on quest
one of the many fun aspects have been the "how do you know
you have been on quest?" observations, some of the Best
follow.
You know
you have been on quest when:
The best conversation you've had in the past week was with
a stone.
You find mica flakes between your toes.
You can't tell your feet from those of a Urangatang.
You try to spear your poops so you can bury them in the
back yard.
You read the previous statement, groan, say it’s gross,
and can relate totally.
You smudge your computer before you log on so you remember
who you truly are.
Your hair still smells like smoke after 3 baths and a steam
and you smile because it is precious!
You get in your car and forget how it works.
You are driving in your car and wondering what everyone is in such a hurry about. Then you realize you are driving 35 mph in a 55 mph zone. And you still aren’t in a hurry.
You take your pants off and they are still standing up.
You prefer the smell of burning sage to pretty much any other scent.
You know when you’ve been Questing when. . . you are actually considering staying there forever.
You stop at 3 or 4 different places on the way home just to buy FOOD.
The next shower you take will be as good as, if not better than sex.
You think that rice crackers and almond butter is the best thing you've ever eaten.....EVER!!!!!
You find tobacco in your underware.
You've planned out every meal you are going to have for the next month, in great detail.
You're super, super grateful when Maryanna gives you a bag of dirt. (Well, that one you kinda had to be there for, but it is a good one.)
