airing out the synapses for lunch
I brought my lunch to a local park today and took a walk through the fields after I finished my sandwich. It was beautiful. Windy, sure. But standing out in the middle of an expansive field bound by trees on a day with big, billowy clouds overhead is one of the few activities that airs out my synapses. This particular park is pretty close to the Monmouth Mall and its proximity only stands to increase the contrast between the two spaces. In 45 minutes of wandering through trails and fields, I came across only one other person and otherwise felt that it was for me alone that these colors and sounds came together. I’m certain the mall was teaming with people looking to spend some money on their lunch hour while I had acres of priceless woods and fields all to myself.
