I often love going to
the park. I usually go there at the weekends and sometimes during the working
week when I am on a day off from work. It is always interesting to go to the
park. You can watch the world pass by as you bask in the sun’s brilliant glory shining
on you as if it was happy to see you. If you take care to look closely around
you, you can see birds on the ground looking for something to eat. You can see
children and people walk around; their minds filled with all manner of
thoughts. You can look at the clouds drifting by like big balls of cotton
against the striking blue of the sky. Sometimes the clouds are hiding the sun
and revealing it the next moment as if they were playing some sort of game of
revelation and concealment. I love the quiet and serenity of the park. It can
be so silent that you can hearing the chirping of birds. I can take in the whiff of
fresh air storming into my nostrils and into my lungs, filling it with
coolness, relaxation and peace. The coolness bears a similitude to mint as the air courses through your
lungs. It is never just you alone in the park. There are other people and you
can see all sorts of people. There will be all manner of folk. The young,
juveniles and elderly all love the park. By just relaxing, I can let go of my
worldly concerns in a brief period in the span of space and time. I like to
take something to eat and drink when I am in the park. Slowly sipping a drink
and munching on a sandwich as I bask in the calmness which is a sharp contrast
to the chaos of the world. The park becomes an island of calm amidst chaos.
It is a place of refuge and alternative to the calm of the home. They say that
the home is where the heart is. Can the park be like it too? I wonder and maybe
you too.
I am a teacher, soon-to-be lecturer, and tutor. I am a Toastmaster. I am a blogger. I am a writer. I am a poet. But I am a work in progress. So wait, please.
