There is no Arizona? Sometimes I wonder.

Today last year I stepped off the plane from Arizona.

I miss it very, very much. It was the end of something and the start of something else, which in itself ended.

I took a picture from the overpass as Tamara drove me to the airport. It was of the sun, just coming up over the mountains, tinting the sky a delicate shell pink. I haven't seen it, I don't know if it came out or not. But it's imprinted in my mind forever.

I had been up all night at my going away party- JC got "drunk"; I was rushing around packing last minute things; we went for a ride one last time; Alta cried and wouldn't come to the airport with me. She almost didn't say goodbye. I miss her. I cried too.

I've changed, no doubt about it. Things I wanted for so long I don't want anymore. Wounds I thought would never close did. Time passes. I'm a year older than I was, but only a little bit wiser. That came with a price, but I don't think I would have traded it for anything.

A whole year. Damn.

When it rains it pours, you know?
