This sort ...
In pondering filling out my TEDWomen application, am realizing for the first time that I'm not now, nor ever have been, either a chief OR an indian. Neither a leader, nor a follower.
Looking back over my life, seeing an arc that reveals moiself is as a scout. Keeping an eye on the horizon to see what's up. Not cut from the herd, protecting it. Checking out the trails for tell-tale signs of unexpected activity. Sniffing the wind for the unexpected developments.
Absolutely see that when it comes to working with my older friends, with their families & loved ones. Not exactly the sort of behavior that finds me hunkered down around welcoming friendly camp fires, but suits me right well.
Yeah, a scout. That works for me.
NOT this one!
