Racing Away From Shadows Or Why Where Ever You Are Is Where You Are

hard to envision many people living in all the Arizona space and sun having any problems at all. Still, in Scottsdale therapists are flourishing and in Phoenix counseling is used equally as much as those in winter climates of the country. Perhaps it is the large number of retired persons who move to these more congenial environments to stay forever in golfing bliss, only to find that even though the weather is nice, and the air is dry, they are still who they were before, except now lacking in purpose and lost from their families and friends.

Perhaps it is all that sunshine that enables a person to keep moving, never able to take a quiet rainy day to sink down in to their own personal misery. Instead they have to golf and swim and play tennis and be strong and tan and healthy. Where do all the darker feelings go in such an unrelentlessly cheerful climate. One could never picture the luminescence and intensity of an artist such as Kurt Cobain living in Arizona or Florida or Hawaii. His feelings probably would have been channeled into surfing or fishing and while his light may have been unable to shine in such brightness, it's possible that instead of ending up the way he did, he might have just ended up old, with a tan.

Places like Arizona, Florida, Hawaii and most vacation spots are places where people go lose their minds, to begin anew. These are the places of dreams and our these visions have no place for the darker elements. Therapists are all about sadness and loss. Therapists are about entering the dark caves and who wants to go exploring in a cold dark rock when it is so much lighter outside.

Certainly, some spots in Arizona, such as Sedona are touted as spiritually uplifting, but once again, the key word here is up. The mountains in Sedona contain connecting spirals that increase your energy, awareness and overall consciousness. It is never touted that there is a vortex that causes you togaze profoundly at the pain you have caused yourself and others. The vortexes are just beautiful, places where you can magically heal without having to do any of that gloomy self reflection that therapists make you do.

The Grand Canyon is majestic and inspiring. All pettiness recedes at this magnificent spectacle , until we get back in our cars and have to drive in one lane of puttering traffic, and get pulled over by the Flagstaff police for going fifty-five in a thirty-five miles per hour zone and then get stuck in an ice storm the next morning where the car spins off the side of the road because you didn't think to put snow tires on, because you were going to Arizona, where it's always sunny and you were just in Phoenix tubing down the river a few days before. The point is, that no matter where we live or travel, in the end the journey leads us back to ourselves and sometimes, if we are lost, it's okay to get a little help, even if you do live in Arizona.
