Walk to Division and Back January 10, 2023
I'm going to try to put into words, the feeling I get from here (the pacific northwest) ever since I first came west 31 years ago. It's a feeling of calm wonder, while looking out over our soggy realm on a bright cloudy day; where everything looks wet even when it's dry, and nothing seems too sharp, and everyone seems friendly, ordinary and optimistic in spite of how little sunny weather they endure. Everything feels broken in. It's where I learned to love Joni Mitchell, Traffic and the Grateful Dead without anyone actually pushing this music on me. Everything feels easygoing here and the world is full of moss and coffee.
I doubt that worked. Anyway. Here's photos from my healthy walk through Montavilla and the Jade District.
