But she has a right to make that journey. A spirit is standard equipment for every human, along with a body, emotions and a mind. That spirit hungers to be nourished as much as body, mind and emotion do. Vision isn't a special gift given to an elite few. Nor is it something that you automatically get by joining a church or going through a sweat lodge.
Young people hunger for spiritual growth as much as they do for sexual growth.
Spiritual challenge is terrifying precisely because it is personal and lonely. Today every human spirit faces the challenge of breaking through that wall of media images that money and politics have built around each of us. Beyond that wall is a vast vista of possibility. Prayer can heal anyone, regardless of gender, race, ethnic background or sexual orientation. No one achieves anything positive in life without some kind of conviction about one's own destiny.
