Waterfront, Portland, OR, USA
56 degrees, rain
Walking along the Portland Waterfront I realize the difference between Willamette and Portland as compared with the Willamette River and the Mill stream. both bodies of water are beautiful and serve an incredible purpose, but as I watch the river I realize how vast it truly is. The stream on campus is very safe and I can, not necessarily accurately, imagine the journey that it follows downstream. The river, however, is so vast that I cannot even begin to imagine where it leads to. The history excites me as I wonder who, like myself, have wondered these same questions. The river to represents the unknown, an unimaginable amout of individuals flowing, not always calmly, to create a unified body. The Mill stream, which is also very intriguing to me, represents this on a smaller scale. A group of individuals all heading the same direction ready to open and flow together on a larger scale. They become ready to flow into the Willamette River.
