After an uneventful drive from Los Angeles, (except for the sticker shock when I got gas) I'm in Walnut Creek, California. I lived here for a year in 1983 and for 11 years from 1994 to 2005. My marriage began and ended here, as did my time with a spiritual teacher. My world travels began here.
I have made three other cross-country drives beginning or ending in California. Two of them began or ended here in the East San Francisco Bay area. Although I did not realize it at the time, each marked a major transition in my life. Now, at a time when my life in Sarasota recently has been more about completion than new beginnings, I am back here again. I don't know how long I will be here. I will visit friends and old haunts. I will explore the incredible diversity this part of the country has to offer. When it feels right, I will start back east. Until then, I'll take photos and post my travels.Maybe while revisiting such a significant part of my past, I will get an inkling of what lies ahead.
