I miss New Mexico

The Bean
This is a picture of the famous coffee shop in Taos, New Mexico called: The Bean. There is nothing special about The Bean, the coffee is good not great, but the atmosphere is oh so New Mexico. Some would call this place desolate or barren but I just call it home.
The sky is so blue and so close. The brown is ever so brown. I miss the smell of the pinon and the sage. I miss the dry warm air. I miss the simple life and the simple people.
I have moved to California. I have been for almost 5 months. I was born here but never felt at peace here. There are reasons for my being here that will remain secret. Both from me and from you. For now I just exist.
When the transition is complete I will be still here but in a better place and hopefully, I will call it home. For now I say Adios to New Mexico and Hello to California. May all Gods creatures find peace.
