The Great Divide
Just before I left for Puerto Rico we read our Free Will Astrology.
"This may be the turning point your grandchildren will tell stories about years from now: the time you leap over the abyss to the other side of the Great Divide and begin your life in earnest. On the other hand, this moment of truth may end up being nothing more than a brief awakening when you glimpse what's possible on the other side of the Great Divide, but then tell yourself, "NAH, that's waayyyy too far to jump." In that case, your grandchildren will have to be content talking about what delicious cookies you used to bake or what your favorite sports team was. It all depends on how brave you'll be."
I got on a plane to Puerto Rico pondering this thought. My last horoscope, as you may have read, weighed heavily on me (although I didn't maintain it very well). Puerto Rico was awesome. I loved almost everything about it. No stupid strip malls, difference but familiarity, convenience but also inconveniece. It's like you have everything, but not everything always. Not as much vanity or ignorance. Of course after staying for a while everyone would find their imperfections. Already they say well poverty is too high, and unemployment is too high, there isn't as much this or that. I found it to be a pleasant mix. I didn't want to leave. I will use several journal entries to explain the experience, because it is way too much for this one. Here I'll tell you about Isla Culebra. There are too many words to describe this fortune. We took an hour 1/2 ferry over and found a publico to drive us to this beach. The town from getting off the ferry to stepping foot on the beach was magnificent, entrancing, and left me wanting more immediately. We camped in a beach-side camp area and walked 50 feet to crystal clear corral covered waters. We swam with blue tangs, angle fish ate out of our hands, huge puffer fish, fish i don't know their names but were all gorgeous and magical. I was awe struck. This I thought is the Great Divide! I wanted to stay forever and ever.
Well, back in austin just dreaming about this stuff as I write it out again. Chowing down plantain chips like I can go down the street and buy them again. I guess I'll turn on the TV and waste my time in the USA away!
