Questing   Let’s admit: it sounds so romantic — questing. Living with purpose, having a strict inner code to see you through any test,   any hardship. Questing — your single goal illuminates the darkness. You’ve been blessed with everything you’ll ever need. Your whole   existence will be fulfilled with one flick of a deer’s ear. Transcendence is your soul’s reward — life blood. So what if you’re a tick?     © Michael Fleming Dummerston, Vermont November 2025
