A short post tonight as I just returned from a
long weekend in San Francisco~ my favorite
City by the Bay.
To me, San Francisco is a portal~
both to the past and to the future
as well as a most joyous present moment when I am here.
The Past~ Because so many aspects, neighborhoods, sights, smells and sounds
remind me of my years here coming of age.
The Future~ because as some of you know,
my dream is to once again live in the Bay Area,
preferably this time just across the Golden Gate Bridge,
somewhere that I can be
driving Mt. Tam,
seated at any restaurant
or perusing any art exhibit in the city
within the hour.
As part of my creative visualization toward this goal,
some years ago I spotted a photo in a magazine that I knew
was the kitchen of my future home.
Around that kitchen, I designed an entire writer's house
and set it on the side of a Marin hillside with a view of the bay.
For me, a visit to San Francisco is like
going on vacation and coming home all at the same time.
I get to relive my years as a teenager here
and look forward to the home I'm creating.
What's in your dream?
