For The Community

[qos]

It occurred to me this morning that I would like to offer something to those who (I trust) will allow me to borrow gear for my Desert Quest. At the very least, I thought, I could offer prayers for them while I am on my solo journey.

Then I realized that praying for others was something I really want to do while I am out there, that it would be a way of having my personal quest serve the greater good, serve my community.

No need to chime in now, but before I go, I will make a post inviting everyone to submit special prayer requests, either in comments or email, whether specific or general.

I have no idea if my offering them in the context of my quest will give them any more efficacy or power than if I were doing it at home (although many spiritual traditions would say it would). . . but I am certain that the act of offering on behalf of others will add meaning to my own experience.

As an FYI - we have various camping gear at my parents' (storage for the poor and anonymous) that you are more than welcome to borrow, including my backpack that might work for you (I'm so shortwaisted that it's actually for someone shorter than me).

This sounds thrilling, exciting, and scary. Let me know if you need help with the diet change too (my, my! qos eating like bookchick after a decade!)

I need help!

I can't help with stuff, but please pray for me to get laid! :,) Actually, you could start today if you like :)
*runs away laughing madly*

Seriously, I think that you have a nice idea here, and I hope people take you up on it.
