Oregon felt like possibility. One moment I was standing at the edge of a fog-covered coastline, and the next I was in a mossy forest where everything felt older and quieter than words. I remember thinking, “This isn’t just a place to visit—it’s a place to feel something.” Every turn brought something new: sea, stone, fire, forest. And somehow, it all felt connected.
What stayed with me were the shifts—between solitude and surprise, stillness and wonder. A waterfall roaring out of nowhere. A cup of coffee in a Portland café that made me pause. Wildflowers beside black sand. Oregon gave me space to be present, and gently reminded me what that actually meant. I left feeling more awake—and somehow more at ease.
