Thanks for sharing. The familiar places you describe feel like places that are familiar to me, except the volcanoes I’ve lived near haven’t erupted for hundreds of millions of years.

I love this view of Portland. I have similar feelings as I move through this city, though my history is only 30 years long. As a kid, I moved around a lot, as did my parents before me. There’s something special that I envy about being so much from a place, personally, generationally. A lovely reflection on that. Thank you.
