I find myself "planted" in a new place...who'd ever have thought Ohio? I've never even been to the Midwest, but hey if you are open to change why not? Life's an adventure and I'm looking forward to exploring a new place.
It's so green here and everything is blooming. After living in the High Desert of California and the pine forests of the High Sierra and Texas for 6 months the green is welcoming. It reminds me of New England where I grew up; lilac, honeysuckle, peonies, the green canopy of trees; thick green grass; rain- the sound it makes hitting leaves- a soft sound which is rather comforting especially at night as you lay in bed listening. Everything seems alive with new growth.
We've been exploring the many parks of Dayton and the surrounding areas. This path led down to a river. It seems to say "come, see what's down here?" It's gentle curve winding down amongst the green, wild columbines here and there and that's what we did. You couldn't help but want to go and see where it led and it was lovely. A wide expanse of river with the trees filtering light above and the smell of wet earth and bird song overhead. Tranquil, restful, healing. The perfect place to walk and just Be. Be a part of the living environment with no distractions, no noise, no stress. Enveloped in a green embrace. Problem is I don't remember which park! Well we will just have to try and find it again and who knows what we will find while we look?
