Destiny
Destiny staggers through the barren desert
Cloaked in a thin layer of rough dark tattered cloth
concealed from the rest of the world, discovered only by those who seek her.
~Cho Min Je
In native american culture, before puberty a child must set off on a vision quest in seek of a spiritual guardian animal without any help or guidance. Metaphorically speaking, before puberty, a child must set off on his/her journey to discover his/her destiny. However, this journey involves fasting, and can take up to several days. The spiritual guardian, or in this case, 'Destiny' is concealed from the rest of the world, and for those who seek her, they find her. After a vision quest, their spiritual guardian leads the child, as he grows older into becoming what his destiny would lead him to becoming.
