I walked to the park this morning and set up shop on a bench overlooking the Great Lawn. The sun was shining, the shade was cool, and a soft breeze was gently furling the papers of my notepad. I sat there for an hour and a half writing, people watching, contemplating life, and wishing I’d brought a snack. All in all a very enjoyable way to spend my morning. It was amazing how fast and easy the ideas flowed. Maybe I was just ready for a breakthrough, but I think the setting had a lot to do with it. Weather permitting I plan to make the trek to the park as often as I can from now on.
