Freedom of the Journey
We made it to the northern coast of Oregon and are staying in Astoria — home of the Goonies!
Cold icy rain swept through in all directions, adding a harshness to the simple beauty of the northern Oregon coast.
There is no destination in mind, just a general direction. The goal is less about any specific outcome but about the process and the discovery. Life teaches to maintain an awareness of the present and to be flexible in where to go next.
One night in a small roadside motel, the next with a riverfront view from the in-room jacuzzi. The quality of life is not in the amenities but in the flexibility and freedom of the journey.
