The surf fishing on Sunday wasn't anything to write home about. Nothing but June grass, not a single bite. But the beach is beautiful and the sunset energy is amazing.
This is my home. I've spent a lot of money and effort to make it my home, and sometimes it feels like it's a waste or going nowhere. But when I'm out here in my element, it makes sense. Every time I come out I have to spend some time on the beach, no matter how the time of year or quality of fishing. I need this energy.
And I need the Pensacola side. Perdido Key is nice and good for fishing, but the water is murky and it lacks that emerald shine of the Pensacola side.
Growing up in Southern California, it's taking me some time to get used to south-facing beaches. Whether it's on the beach or on the kayak (and it's usually on the kayak), the sunsets are extraordinary. The clean energy, the way the clouds shade the sun with gorgeous red, pink and orange hues, the nature all around, it's a special feeling.
This is my base, the foundation for my energy work and creative flow. I bring this back with me to California until I can fully move out here and completely meld into this environment.
I have a gym here now - World Gym. I love it. It's a lot more laid-back than the UFC in Torrance, which is kind of a madhouse and way too loud, but a good place to lift. I have a couple coffee shops I like, some areas I like to walk. Fishing is no longer the foundation, it's something I do, along with other things and the days flow quickly and smoothly.
And this is the source of my current creative and energetic evolution. The new novels, the emergence of Kaelen'Zur, the personal evolution, all sprung forth from here. Which really is to say it sprung forth from my heart, my true center, because I chose this. All of this.
I finally, fully feel like my true self. I am home.
