A Home for Nomads

All she knew was she needed to move, preferably to a place that people actually knew
 the name of.  A place by the ocean she decided not a place landlocked or small.  
Maybe by mere association she secretly hoped she would be less small and perhaps known as well. 
With this she decided upon Los Angeles she had a few friends there so the transition would be 
easier!  Once she arrived at LAX she felt alive and home all at once,great things 
were about to happen her intuition told her,no more was she the small town girl,she was practically a celebrity, 
she chuckled to herself at the thought.

About a month in town, she was just getting adjusted and that is when she met
him!  Dark haired, shyish or was that mysterious?   They had bumped into each other,
literally while walking down the beach,both full faces down in their cell phones not even
looking at the sun setting on the water. He was nice smelling, of wind and
cleanliness she noticed.   They exchanged numbers and in the months that past they
became inseparable.  They shared all their stories, talking for hours on end.   He was
from a small Oklahoma town she from an equally if not smaller town in Texas,
practically neighbors they joked.   She did his astrological chart as she always did when
she met someone new, he was a Pisces, she a Scorpio both water signs that found
themselves having traveled to live by the water for virtually the same reasons. They had
finally found their true home not unlike the crabs on the beach that moved to a new shell
when they outgrown their old one.   As years past, she found he was
indeed mysterious just as she had hoped and they both realized they had found
something within each other in the last place they expected to find it. They found they
were important and special ,not as celebrities, but in the best possible way, to each other.
