Finding yourself through solitude

Finding yourself through solitude

April 8, 2015
I am sitting in the shade of a beech tree, surrounded by its tiny white flowers, resting on palms dirtied by the damp ground and gazing at the distant top of the Prudential Center. A little girl in a pink dress and velcro sneakers runs, laughing, ahead of her parents while an old woman tightly grips the ends of three leashes, each restraining a yapping bichon frise. The sun drops lower and lower in the sky, and the population of the park continues to shift. Now, a group of teenagers eats ice cream on the grass. Now, a tourist snaps photos of the swan boats. Now, two pigeons fight over a pizza crust. I sit and watch it all unfold. I haven’t spoken with anyone in hours and, yet, I’ve never felt more connected to the world around me.
