All of us do have visions, each of us according to our individual nature. They are the deep driving forces in our lives and can be evil as well as holy. Although we may on occasion have experiences that appear to resemble others' descriptions, true visions are not seen even with our inward eyes: they lie too deep for that. . . .

Each of us has an informing vision that we pursue, that determines our choices and the way we interact with the creation — with our families, with strangers, with the earth.
