Where I am


I am here at the very place where I sit, although sometimes I am very far away from where I am. I am where I live & I live where I used to be most happy, where in youth I danced, rode my bike to yoga & laughed deeply in love with my community and friends. Where I am now is in that very same house (like an old tree standing), this little house would know me better than I remember knowing myself. Where I am is in a city of 150 thousand people in the heart of the Willamette Valley. Where I am was once a White Oak savanna, along the Willamette River, where Kalapuya Native Americans once lived.

Friends are a great reservoir to the spirit

"And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed"
-THE PROPHET(On Friendship), Kahlil Gibran
