a ten year cycle

ten years ago i could not wait to leave phoenix, arizona..i was finishing up my nursing school and was counting the days until i could leave that hot dry hell hole. ten years later, after living in hawaii for four years, i am ready to go back and spend some time getting rock solid experience in nursing again. funny how life cycles us back to the same rock we came from

i don't know when i'll be back on the island. am looking forward to daily winter sunshine and tall dry mesas again. am looking forward to driving fast on open highways and watching dust storms approach from the estrellas. am looking forward to my tenants leaving should i be there in april, as a gorgeous four bedroom house awaits that's mine all mine.


sometimes life on the island wraps you up and you forget what your other dreams are. you spend your time collecting shells and fishing to get by to remain on the island and then there comes an opportunity to sit on a solid rock again and build a foundation. and maybe find a new island for summer break.

there's been a recent breakdown of everything lately. what appears to be an earthquake is just shifting the bad bricks out ..and determining if the land is worth building on again. arizona is that land right now, it's forever, it's eternal. it's home. i'll miss hawaii but it's nearing winter in hawaii right now and the summer blazing energy is gone. the tourists have gone home and i'm sad to see them go. it's time to park it near a cactus with a notebook and reorganize. laptop on hand..
