I just took the most amazing walk at city park.
In between the police sirens, chainsaws and planes flying over head I allowed myself to get lost in a whole other world. I got about 1/2 mile into the walk when it started to rain and my tedious bothersome exercise became a peaceful relaxing journey full of life and beauty. I slowed my pace to a stroll and really started to take in my surroundings. The hypnotizing sound of the rain splashing on the leafs. The wonderfully intoxicating aroma of the wild flowers growing on either side of the path. The abundant life growing from a ground full of leaves of seasons passed and fallen branches. I saw two perfectly curved vines intertwined to form the shape of an eye creating the perfect frame for the trees and water beyond.
From the young fragile saplings to the towering sturdy trees providing temporary coverage from the rain, I took everything in. I saw art. I saw beauty. I felt tranquility. I closed my eyes and looked to the sky as I walked and felt the rain hit my face. I smiled.
The rain continues as I sit here on the wet grass under the low lying coverage of a tree. Lillie is exploring the field in front of me. Bright yellow buttercups grow to my right. I don't want to to leave. But alas, I have lasagna waiting at my moms house.
