no matter where I wander it only takes a few steps west to remind me why I have called this place home for so many years. although I may not always open the door I know the beauty unfolds so easily if I choose - it's simple, it's pure - the connection to boundless treasures always changing...
today the Farallons - tomorrow the fog
today the parched sun - tomorrow the brisk fall chill
meander the Pacific coast trail (expand me) catch the redwood lined forest (embrace me)
the ever present beauty of the Emerald city in the distance
her golden gates...even when you can not see her you feel her presence
so complicated in her simple elegance
she has been my beacon for over thirty years...always welcoming me home with her graceful charms from my exploits, adventures and sorrows...
a reminder always to carry on, find peace, spread your love, share your joy
