First month of missing...

I miss organized randomness.
And the warmth that starts with a sip of red wine and catches on like wildfire through the laughter of good friends.

I miss the Portland attitude.
Even the skinny-jean, fixed-gear, tiny-mustache, wool-cap-wearing hipsters.

I miss late night talks on the porch.
And Mr. Fluff.

I miss the "fresh start" smell after it rains.
And the innumerable blackberry spines, pulled from flesh after a morning of joy and tangible service to the Lord.

I miss the community.
And our togetherness, like Mexicans at the river.
