I find myself in the heart of Los Feliz on another beautiful day in Los Angeles. I sit in a local coffee shop and peer out from my comfy armchair. There is a steaming cup of coffee within reach as I begin the nonverbal battle for a much-coveted electrical outlet. Victory. Another day.
The journey that was once more of a pilgrimage is nearing its conclusion. Only a few days ago, the sight of downtown LA inspired an uncertain anxiety within me. It was saying, “You, again?” At the time, I could not muster any response. But, as the days have gone by, we find ourselves in negotiations. I have offered words of passion and dedication, but have been refused an outright commitment on her part. Her blessing is elusive, but her presence is always welcoming.
There are always things to be considered with such a drastic change to one’s way of life. But, I find myself capable, excited and confident in my ability to woo her to my side. And if her favor can’t be won; well, we’ll just see about that.
