Running From Shadows Or Why Where You Go There You Are

It is difficult to imagine anyone living in all the Arizona space and sun having any problems at all. Still, in Scottsdale therapists are flourishing and in Phoenix counseling is required no less than in the darker colder regions of the country. Perhaps it is the large number of retired persons who move to these warmer climates to live out their final days 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 keeps a person always on the go, never able to take a quiet rainy day to be depressed on their own. Instead they have to golf and swim and play tennis and strong and tan and healthy. Where do all the darker feelings go in such obnoxiously happy weather? One could never imagine the brilliance or deep sensitivity 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 he may not have been as tender and musical, 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 to forget, to start over. These are the places of dreams and our dreams do not include sadness or loss. Therapists are all about sadness and loss. Therapists are about going deep inside and who wants to go inside when it's so nice outside. Certainly, some spots in Arizona, such as Sedona are touted as spiritually uplifting, but once again, the key word here is up. This area is filled with vortexes that increase your energy, awareness and overall consciousness. Nowhere is it ever proclaimed that there is a vortex that causes you to look deeply inside 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 nasty internal self-examination that therapists so frequently facilitate.

The Grand Canyon is majestic and inspiring. All smallness disappears in the face of such grandeur, 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 go or what we do, 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.
