The Peace and Quiet: Finding Stillness in Central Park

I am sitting the Central Park right now. On my vacation, surrounded by the sights and sounds of horns, birds and the world continuing around me but I am strangely peaceful and quiet.

The world around me goes on

As I enter into a world unknown,

This place is quiet and peaceful

Unlike my life that is full of chaos.

I am worried that I might be lost

As this place is strangely calm and inviting

Much like my happy times when I was a child

When I wanted time to stop and just spend 1 more second feeling the joy

As the winds flow through my hair,

I realise why I am happy and calm

The person I sit with is me, someone I have learnt, made peace with and am falling in love with.

As I think of getting up and walking away

I think I might lose this moment of joy

How I wish I could hold this moment and take it with me

But then again is it the moment or me?

Should I take this person with me and save them from the ugliness of it all

Or do I create peace and joy everywhere I take this person with me.

The only think non negotiable is.. this person stays with me forever so I am about the change the world.

Till later!
