I am on the East Coast for a week, and I am enjoying all the differences that I have noticed between Virginia and California. I have been steeped in the natural world of cicadas, fireflys, and woodpeckers,and enveloped in a sweltering mix of humid heat combined with rain. The moisture-laden air is scented with rich earthy smells emanating from the sodden dirt, leaves,and bark of the woodland forest.I wake to see a cardinal on the patio, while in the forest, the loud chirping of jays mixes with the sounds of sparrows, robins and chickadees.
I have gotten my share of mosquito bites,and they are a tangible reminder that I am far from home in a geographic sense,but right at home in a spiritual sense.
