I am quite often told that I am living in the wrong place for creativity: "Live in New York" or "You would thrive in California". Cutting and pasting myself into different cities and scenarios can be playfully fun, but my reality knows where my roots are. My reality knows what a crowded city would do to my heart, my reality knows that living near loved ones who understand my joy and sorrow lifts me up, my reality knows that I need trees and mountains and lots of space. The title of this piece, "Happy Where I Am" came from a Cat Stevens song that reminds me of many beautiful places, especially my home.
