Vision Quest

Author's Note I wrote this Friday night, but did not publish it until 12:09 AM Monday morning, missing 3 of the first 7 days of the Quest. --Charles Jeffrey Danoff 06:10, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

This month o' paragogy is akin to a vision quest. Considering I “failed” yesterday by writing less than 750 words and today after working from 06:15 – 21:30 plus dinner with colleagues I have again missed the mark I don't know if that means my vision quest is over or not or whatever, but in any event I plan on continuing and am now writing this around 23:54 on November 4th as my paragogicla entry.

What I am trying to say is that I have wanted to do a vision quest type experience for lots of my life and always imagined it as something epic like going off into the forest naked, alone and surviving. Instead its sitting in front of the computer at my parent's house typing about education. Dreams and reality, eh?

But, this is probably better. The vision quest would be sweet for myself, but this is an investment in humanity. I mean we're trying to uncover the basic mechanics of the most traditional form of learning we have done: paragogy, or from our peers.
