My Personal Friday

As I sat at the over look, I heard someone get out of their car and gasp at the beauty, for nature is on one side-man made beauty on the other with the city view. This is Point Loma. My brother had called from the Atlantic side- the waves were calling on his last few days of vacation. My Pacific was also calling for me to come... alone. I'm taking it all in. (west view)







This is for me... deep & personal... I came out here alone in '89- to enjoy my Navy time- I met my husband. Now, almost exactly 17 years later, I'm leaving it once more.

IT. 'It' is hard to explain- a wide-ness, a grey-blue green, a deep freedom we all have in us, a one-ness, a where 'it' all started, a celebration, a wind to which a seagull rides, an expression.






A haze, a alone-ness, a peacefulness, a beginning, an end....a journey.

...my very personal good bye to San Diego.

  2. I so felt what you were communicating. And you know what? The mountains give me the exact same feeling! California, Colorado--you have the sea in you.
