Tripping The Light Fantastic
Jan. 6th, 2008 10:34 pmOne year ago today the landlord in Santa Monica told me that a buyer was coming to look at the property. It's a huge part of what led to my move to the PacNW. Now I'm back in SoCal for a visit, staying in very familiar territory, w/fambily in a home where I've been welcome for 30+ years (prolly more like 42, but I was too young to remember the earlier visit(s)).
I've gotten to see various friends recently, old and new, treasured all, and know I've got more elsewhere, a bunch of whom I'll see upon my return (or not long thereafter).
In an alternative universe somewhere not so far away, I've got kids. Here, in this one, I've got cats. Well, not here, close to 1K miles away in fact, but they're there.
Sometimes our decisions have huge rippling effects, even if they seem small at the time.
I don't know where I'm going. I'm not fully sure of where I've been.
What I do know is that I want to dance more.
Feeling: a bit bittersweet...pleased...uncertain...mellowly joyful...
