Vision Quest

In some Native American Cultures a vision quest is undertaken as a turning point in life taken to find oneself and the intended spiritual and life direction.

The vision quest could be described as a practice in living and dying. Something is being left behind, dying; and something is beginning, being born. The vision quest supports both the dying and the rebirth by allowing space and time for new knowledge and understanding to develop and manifest.

It has three elements:

Severance – intentionally leaving behind your life as you have known it.

Threshold – the time betwixt and between what you have known and what is emerging.

Incorporation – the return with new knowledge, understanding and skills that will be integrated into the next stage of life.

Langkawi

Did I mention that Langkawi is absolutely beautiful?

We hired mopeds and drove round the Island for the day. We went to check out the cable car but it was closed down as there was some problem with it and they couldn't say when it was going to open again. So we drove off to a waterfall which was absolutely gorgeous and there were seven pools at the top which you could swim in and slide down.

Driving around the island was great fun. We were like a 30mph version of Easy Rider - or Thelma and Louise. I think we entertained the locals too! We drove around to another waterfall and then through the jungle dodging monkeys. The scenery was like in the movie Avatar. The only mishap we had on the bike was when we had to shoo some monkeys away from it but they were more interested in their own reflections in the mirrors than they were in us.

I could easily have stayed another week in Langkawi but had to keep moving...
