each time i return from the east coast to my home on the west, i have the same feeling. you've read it before. it's a feeling of duality - love for the CA environment, sunny skies, bike rides home from work, night hiking - paired with questioning my place in this unfamiliar territory.coming back to my apartment, cooking dinner by myself feels different here than it did in nyc. there, i was relieved to retreat to my oasis, away from the chaos and bumping around that happened daily - during long trips on the train, walking down the street, teaching in schools. here, things are so peaceful all day long that the evening could be a time for stimulating conversation, companionship, laughter.
these feelings come and go, and my life is filled with friends and love. but whenever i return from nyc, it is present.
here is a pic of bear lake - the caribbean of the midwest - from my plane ride back to cali. this is where adge and i stopped to swim on our drive cross country, just three years ago...
love and hugs to all, it was great to see you last week :)
