I did a quick “walkabout” yesterday, around the peripheries of Little Saigon and Atlantic, down to the edge of Hiawatha Place and back to St. Peter’s Episcopal Parish on S. King St, as part of our parish visioning process this year.
I took dozens and dozens of photos, and soaked in the sights, sounds, smells and sensations along the way. I turned corners for the first time; I felt my body tense up and relax as it passed through jarring disparities—my sense of walking in the midst of colliding pressure systems heightened by the gathering storm clouds overheard. I saw familiar landmarks just over the horizon—memories and milestones from my first year in Seattle; I didn’t know what to make of it all.
Here are ten of the photos I took during my walk. I share them without comment in the spirit of @neighborhoodliturgy.
