Yesterday, I had a few hours between patients and decided to go for a walk to find a nice place to write. I recently got this great “Portland Walks” book from my friend Jennifer and looked up a local one. Off I meandered through the neighborhoods of Lake Oswego toward the Willamette River. I walked up the river enchanted by the birds and trees, the sun on my back. I stumbled on a group of carved stones marked as the William Stafford Stones. One of them said,
“Oregon is insanely green
It is the thin light
left over from Eden.”
Listening to the bird calls and feeling the silent flow of the river while squinting my right eye to the welcome glareof the sun, I couldn’t help but be filled with a divine connection and a sense of everything coming together. Everyday, I am enchanted by this piece of paradise.
