[bodytext] => For this writing assignment I had to write about "a first time experience". I thought of several things...many of them cliched that I didn't want to write about. I settled on writing about the first time I came back home after being away in Cali. Back there, where the indestructible sun never closes it's eyes, and snow a mystery--a memory now--back then I would gluide on my beach cruiser down winding ocean drives and catch the glint of sun reflecting off peaks of waves. And sometimes I would walk to the end of the road, find a path across the large boulders hugging the interior of the Santa Cruz Harbor, and land like a seagull under the shadow of the lighthouse, open a book to read or just listen to the rhythmic pattern of crashing waves, laughing children, ecstatic dogs challenging the sea's massive waves, and the occasional ship headed towards infinity blasting it's horn in triumph. But now, back where the merciless sun bears his ruthless teeth and the envious snow, at war with ice, unexpectedly crawls into our shoes while we scrape our windshields--back home, for the first time, since then-- what will happen now that I've betrayed paradise? Who knows? What matters I'm sure, will still carry on our conversation, for no matter where I am, I am always here.
