I flew my plane over these little hills and thought about my life. I saw all the cities, Arcata, Eureka, Redding, and an incredible violet glow along the northern coast of California. 21 years old. I landed in a town that was lively with families and college students. I sat at a café near the ocean and the sand, cold from the winter air. I no longer felt empty when I saw a pretty girl holding hands with a handsome young man. That used to disturb me, but in that moment, I was satisfied with the Milky Ways of my wanderings. I read my books until midnight and decided to lay on the starlit sand. Golden flicker of lights about my kingdom.
