This is lovely, Joe. I loved learning about your 'hero's journey' - "I needed resurrection and redemption. I needed love."
I came to LA 10 years after you - and knew instantly I was 'home.' Never left except for three years in Dallas - a city that never opened its arms to me. Or that I never opened my heart to. I dunno. I had no room in my heart for anything but homesickness. So glad and grateful to be back.
Say what? You left San Francisco and went back to LA?
Yep. NY to LA to England to SF to LA.

Beautiful words-smithing!
