There just isn't anything better is there? It's hitting strong these days... And everything is how it should be and each moment I'm right there to enjoy it, to take it in, to feel it. Yesterday, when Seth and I went to Central Park, we wondered our way in, me still amazed that I actually live in New York, that I can actually go to Central Park when I feel.We paused for a rest on one of the large rocks that shoot up out of the ground in the park. Seth laid out. I stayed sitting up, watching people pass, feeling how alive the park was. We were both taking in the saxophone player (the guy that's always near the tunnel by the ice skating rink... if you've been to that area before you've probably seen him before, or better yet, heard him before). The weather was perfect and I knew that I was exactly where I was supposed to be. In that moment, I was not to be doing anything else, but sitting next to my love, living, breathing.
My life is about to get very busy, very overwhelming. But I think I'm ready for it. I have some ideas of how to make things better... and I'm ready to try them out. I'm ready to see if I can make a change, for myself and for others. I thought I'd lost this hopeful feeling... I know I lost touch with it last year, during all the horrible moments (that I've somehow forgotten with two months of relaxation). I guess we'll see what happens then, but for now, I'm enjoying the prospect and the preparation of something good to come.
P.S. Who doesn't spend a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Central Park and NOT feel like they are right where they are supposed to be!?! Maybe that's why I love NYC so much... There are so many places that I go to, and instantly, I'm hit with that feeling... And I know this City is my place, at least for now :)

I'm glad you've found your spot !!
beautiful shot and here's to you having a great year. :)
great spot too!
That one picture of him is amazing! What a character.
Not to sound all new-agey, but Central Park always strikes me as having some kind of amazing spiritual energy to it. I'm often moved to tears there, embarrassingly.
So beautifully said! You make me miss New York.
that kinda place for me was a set of rocks situated in the mountains where I lived as a teen. i've not been able to make my way back there yet not even to take pictures but I hope to see this place again someday. glad you were able to find such a place. it sounds wonderful.
So. totally. agree.
