This past Sunday I took a trip to Berkeley to let M. have some downtime after our hectic week and so I could skate around and explore the city. I had a great time skating around all over Berkeley, and I happened upon this impromptu drum circle at the Ashby BART transit station while I was on my skateventure.
Things like these drum circles, things that encourage self expression, creativity, awareness, and thought, are the things that make me love the Bay Area and infinitely glad to be out of Southern California and back here in Northern California where I belong.
Since I moved here in 2008, I have been able to experiment, grow, and express myself in ways that I never would have been able to back in Florida; I have unearthed and discovered parts of myself that I don't think would ever have been mined had it not been for my move to SF.
It feels like home here.
I don't just mean that as a flippant sentence; I get this certain feeling when I am here in the Bay that I don't get anywhere else.
I did not feel it when I lived in LA, I definitely don't feel it when I am visiting my parents at home in Florida, but here, tucked away in the mountains, I feel it.
It feels peaceful, it feels zen.
It feels like home.
