it is so easy to get caught up in the mundane things in life that seem so important. today i took the time to extricate myself from these things for a bit respite. i took a stroll next to the 'lake' at tempe beach park and noticed the unusual green water, the warm breeze, and the fresh smell of the grass, trees, and fish. there was an elderly couple walking across the grass, stooped over and holding hands. they looked as if they would fall to the ground in their foot struck a stone or if the wind blew a bit harder. a couple of kids were playing under the overpass, trying to show off to anyone that might look their way, to prove that they alone are cool, fearless, and mature. then there was the lonesome soul, lounging under a tree, reading a book. this one i envyed. the trees were gorgeous and stood tall, graceful in the wind, and captivating. the clouds were wispy and puffy all at once; here today, gone tomorrow. it was a lovely break from the demanding world of me now. i hope to remove myself from its clutches again soon.
