Story & Experience
In the Pacific northwest bioregion, a watershed area of the Willamette River, which flows into the Columbia River and on to the Pacific Ocean. Walk along the riverway, observing wildlife, birds, collecting trash. We stopped at a view deck, added our prayers for healing. We discovered, after the fact, 2 additional women we also found their way to Johnson Creek, but missed connecting with us. They became friends along the way, adding to the community of committed citizenry with regards to bringing joy and healing to our inner city waterways.
