Phoenix

June 20, 2013

 We're cruising along in California finally. We stayed in Phoenix last night with Franks friend, Jerry. I don't think I've ever met anyone more motivated and driven to make money. In his reality time is money, so... he spends all his waking (and probably some sleeping) minutes networking or working on his business. Phoenix in general seemed to hold that same energy. Consumerism, business, money, status, money, cars, more money. It was really miles away from the peace and stillness of little Taos. I could definitely feel the energetic difference, and how it affected me. Environment really is stronger than will. It's so important what we surround ourselves with, and who we surround ourselves with. But as Jerry would say, "It's your life bro, do what you want."
 Today is mom's birthday. It seems so fitting that I will be finding my way to the ocean today. She's such a child of the ocean, and it makes sense. The ocean is so healing and maternal, they must see a soul mate in each other.
