Purchased Flight Itinerary for Step 2

It has been over 3 months since I purchased my flight to New Zealand and when I leave Aotearoa on July 31st it will have been exactly 2 1/2 months. 2 1/2 months in New Zealand at the worst time of year due to the weather. Talk about drastic change! I went from feeling chained to a bullshit existence in a tropical climate approaching summer to feeling uncomfortably free of choice, yet uncomfortably too far removed from the world on an island with a temperate climate approaching winter with southerly blasts of bone chilling winds. Step number 1 has been completed. I purchased my tickets to SE Asia on July 8th, the same day, oddly enough, that my jyotish chart dictated my life to enter my 3 year stage of Rahu. While researching an ancient vedic astrology site yesterday, I found the Rahu phase to signify "foreigners in all fields- people, countries, tastes". How I ended up choosing SE Asia as my next destination, I have no clue. I have a mind obsessed with making plans and setting goals yet somehow my actions are guided by an impulsive intuition which wins over sensible reason 99% of the time. Step 1 was in search of step 2, which has become an out of the blue trip to SE Asia. This pattern is continuing on with step 2 turning into the pursuit of understanding step 3. As crazy as it sounds, I'm in search of what I want in a career. A career, after all, is what I paid my jyotisha to help me understand in my chart. Hmmm...

Step 1: Flying 8,000 Miles Away in Search of Step 2

Yes, that is right, you did not read wrong. I am flying 8,000 miles away May 13th in search of step two. In order to fulfill my soon-to-be occupation as a wanderer, I am leaving the unbearable summer heat of South Florida to arrive in the windy cold climate of New Zealand. Just as Summer is sneaking its humid air into my nostrils, I am escaping it in two weeks in lieu of dry air and a runny red nose. After 5 years of studying at two different universities in pursuit of an undergraduate degree in, of all things, sociology, a marriage to a Brazilian, a divorce, endless immigration papers to earn my ex his green card, 11 different cities and countless living situations, I literally walk away from this chapter May 6th at my commencement ceremony. Where am I going? New Zealand. What am I doing? Wandering. Having a sibling who has inhabited the land of the Kiwis for the past 6 years now, it is not yet the start of my wandering, but it is Step 1 of the flow which my intuition and hasty impatience has the inclination to follow.

Where am I going? Where are you going?

What am I doing? What are you doing? Are you going somewhere out there? If you do, I'm sure you will be heading to the same place as another friend of mine. People tend to end up at the crossroads at the same place and time. More so the more you notice the pattern of these not so random random encounters. Where are you going? Where am I going? Is it to the same place? I bet we meet there at the same time.
