As I return to San Diego from an enchanting time in Colorado with my family, I experience a very subtle, but noticeable confusion about home. So much of my heart resides in those Rocky Mountains, in my family, in the memories and familiarity of that place. And equally, so much of my heart is here in San Diego. I’m reminded of this by the warm smiling faces that greet me at the airport, the regards I receive from friends who’ve been missing me, and I them…The sunshine that pervades the air and the ground and my kitchen window. I know this is my home because I know I have cultivated a very unique, very strong community here. I forget sometimes, when immersed in wanderlust over the ideas of travels and dreams and new things. This life is beautiful, rich, diverse, and I am so thankful to come ‘home’. So much of my life here revolves around Suzie’s Farm- what’s growing, what’s not growing, what stories are happening in and out of the office, the field, the markets…
I walk through the tomato trellises, and the eery silence overwhelms me. It almost feels stagnant. There are a lot of bugs, a bit of mildew, and many shades of green. The bulging fruit are craving heat, the strength of the summer sun to energize them, give them their color, their taste, their flare. But our beloved sunshine has found its way back to these fields and my hope is confident that the tomatoes will continue to grow healthy and bountiful.
Crouching close to the dusty soil, I wander through the small patch of corn, now tall and robust against the other shrubby plants. Dust scatters every where, attacking my eyes and lungs as I peer between the towering stalks. Robin tells me that once the silk in the husks appears there are just a few weeks until the corn will be ready for harvesting. It tastes sweet and light, just like summer.
There’s an enormous crop of celery growing feet away and every time the wind moves I catch its striking, sweet aroma- similar to the smell of grandma’s kitchen just as she prepares that best, original chicken soup.
Home is so many things for me, but to return on this day to such a beautiful place teeming with life, with possibility, with “yes”, I sink deeper into a peace of mind and recognize that home really is, where you invest your heart and give of yourself…Cheers to the next summer months of bliss and trials- may they be filled with exuberance and wonder…
