Coming and Going

I made it!! The last day of the drive was beautiful, no tire chains needed, very good thing.

So, I'm here in Portland, Oregon. Its a beautiful place. I have been excessively breathing in the air here as I am amazed at how fresh it is and how good it smells. It is helping me enjoy being outside though colder than L.A. and not as sunny.

I went on a walk this morning to get a cup of joe about a mile away in this village area by where we live. You could see dew drops on the tree branches as I walked by, the neighborhood was quiet and seemingly untouched. I found myself comparing worlds of Los Angeles to here, I find myself doing that often, but part of it is letting go of what was and can't be here and learning to see and accept the present and the new experiences here. Its like those life lessons you learn over and over again, saying you will remember better next time, when its truly outside of ourselves to ever make that change completely. But through each new experience it gets easier and the change happens faster, maybe because I'm more willing each time because of learning from what I would of wanted to change.

I went to church this morning, it was a church where the pastor had come to speak at my church in L.A. It was amazing, I was really praying for community and divine connections this morning and I met some really great people today that I believe will become friends and significant in my life.
