Description
You start in the valley, just outside a sleepy small town that is, quintessentially, the small, friendly town that we all dream about, but wonder if it really exists. (It does.)
From there, a winding country road climbs slowly and lazily up in to the hills, passing by farm and ranch country. Many of the hills are cultivated – with wheat, alfalfa hay, barley, lentils, peas – but just as many remain wild with grass, rippling in the breeze.
The road is not a fast one, because it is not a wide, straight freeway heading from one crowded metropolis to another. It is, rather, a country road, one whose purpose is to take the traveler from one farmhouse to another, from one ranch to another. You see the houses peeking through the trees, many of them settled near the Touchet River that wends through the valley.
The view is two-fold. Around every bend you look down into the meadows and fields by the river, and then you look up into the distance, where the mountains, appropriately named the Blue Mountains, beckon the traveler further up and further in.
This is Meandering Landscape, a place where you drive or walk in no particular hurry, because your destination is not an office building, shopping center, or parking lot. Rather, the destination is the journey itself – the slow, gentle, relaxed drive through a slow, gentle, relaxed landscape.
The hills build upon one another, and in the view from Meandering Landscape, you can see the layers – sloping hillsides on the left, then the right, then the left and right again on upwards to the heights.
“Come on up,” the hills beckon. “Watch the landscape change as you increase in height.
“I start with fields and farmland, and bit by bit rise into the forests of pine and fir. I am always changing, but never in a rush.”
Ah . . . never in a rush.
That’s the place to be.
