Goodbye to rampant greens and warm rains

Posted on October 21, 2009 in Reflections Vacation Fall 2009

My last therapist told me that I didn’t like change. I figure that this was just a standard line she used on people like me who defied her Rogerian expectations. I do like change. It’s changing back to the same old thing and feeling unable to do anything about it that undoes my contentedness.

So tomorrow at 4 pm, I’m going back to southern California. There are people there who are visiting for a week like I am visiting here and aching because they are returning to their ordinary. I will sing once more of the chaparral here, just as they will see the vivacity of their red autumns. A place is much like a person: no one location can fill your needs. I’ve been needing the rampant greens and warm rains. Lynn’s pocketbook limits what we can afford in the way of time. so it is goodbye to this personality. Hello to my everyday, insufficient and yet substantial. Life.
