Sadly, Salem has seen better days.
We worked our way to Salem today.
In order to see the Oregon State Constitution, rarely on display.
Oregon's birthday is tomorrow.
We wondered what we would see.
Knowing, all has not been well.
It was a sad day for Oregon, its citizens, and its leaders.
We watched this news outside the Oregon Senate Chambers.
Thirty feet from the Governor's door.
We had some interesting conversations last night about what we might see today, but in the moment, they were not at all concerned with the state troopers and camera crews literally camped out behind their heads. They were focused on seeing the Oregon State Seal.
Here's to spring in the capitol.
May the new year bring citizen leadership and healing.
May Oregon's citizens learn, act, pray, vote, and give back.
Let us live intentionally within the communities we call home.
What we plant, will bloom.
