The sun peeked out last week. Sitting out on my balcony and walking through my neighborhood with an arm full of groceries, I was reminded about what I love about this city so much.
In Portland, we build communities around love. We explore the contents of our hearts together.
Our compassion is the stuff of fascists' nightmares.
There's a lot of talk these days about revitalizing our city center post-COVID and yes, a downtown where we can gather is important. But I want to talk more about our neighborhoods. The richness and wanderability. All the cats.
Don't forget to leave room for leisure and relaxation. Smell the flowers. Remember that the sun will rise again tomorrow. Summer is just around the bend.
