the greenway

as much as i go on about this city, i found my little eden within it. featured here, in the late afternoon, is a favorite haunt of mine. this greenway, which wanders around a big old cemetary and spills into a national park, has been a source of solace and inspiration to me. poems have written, friends have been made, and good conversations prevailed within the hour or so i take to walk. the trees have shifted me through every season, and the kindness of strangers has drowned out any self-pity i might have been entertaining when i laced up my shoes to go walking. call me sentimental: i don't care. i love discovering places and keeping them in my head when the rest of my life goes into gloom. every place i have lived in or visited holds a walk i have taken.
