THINKING ABOUT...

...what else my life's work includes. dreaming tonight of overseas work, setting up clinics in rural areas, teaching wellness and self sufficiency; thinking of community gardening/farming/agriculture in urban areas; thinking of teaching english as a second language in costa rica; thinking of teaching writing and poetry to african children.

then, stumble across a very apt description at i-village:

Scorpio travel profile:

Scorpio is that mysterious stranger on the train. Those born under this sign are truly go-anywhere, do-anything kind of people - the seamier, the better. Sex shops in Amsterdam would be a natural for a Scorpio, seeing as this is the Sign of Sex and Death. Kink will always be 'in' with the Scorpion, but the passion within also runs to any unusual life experience. The destination doesn't have to be pretty, just anywhere interesting lessons can be learned.

In the end, that's really what the travelling Scorpion is all about: the experience. Ruled by Pluto, the planet of regeneration, Scorpions will internalise much from their travels and are likely to return a different person. Hard-to-pin-down Scorpios prefer to travel alone, but when they do opt for a group it's a given that their agenda rules. Not only do Scorpions like to get their way, they also want their experiences to be utterly complete. Thankfully, these people are resourceful and will always have the means (whether by money or intelligence) to get what they want. For the passionate Scorpion, travel is yet another of life's seductive charms.


So true.

Now That's Worth Writing Down

When we let Spirit lead us, it is impossible to know where we are being lead. All we know, all we can believe, all we can hope is that we are going home. That wherever Spirit takes us is where we live.....Alice Walker, Absolute Trust in the Goodness of the Earth.
