thoughts by Sande Skinner
Musing on about things as I am prone to do, I decided there was quality of purpose to genealogy that surpassed most other endeavors. There is a substance to this abstract - we are putting ourselves on the Eternal Circle through our ancestors - we are all on a Vision Quest. I wouldn't have known there was a term for this had I not read a critique on the movie of the same name which explained what a Vision Quest was:
"A mission to gain communion with the greater spirits and win a place in the eternal circle."
