Where I am From
Apr 28, 2022
Story
I am from hiking shoes
From blue fluffy blankets and colorful scarves
I am from the a city of rain and roses
I am from the camassia, the moon.
I am from outdoor barbeques and smiling knees,
From Mary and Merlin.
From eating too many Cheetos and tying shoe laces together under the kitchen table.
I am from the Pacific Northwest, from Salmon and Wine.
From warm and welcoming, and adventurous.
From gentrification and diversity.
I am from Oregon, from pine trees and clouds,
From sustainability.
