Park-pourri

What a lazy day. I got lost in winding paths of Central Park, found myself but got lost again in the Natural History Museum’s minerals and meteors galleries, napped in the dappled sunlight that peaked through the tall trees, eavesdropped on gossiping picnickers, wrote a letter, caught up on some phone calls, and finally walked back through the park past the carousel, the large central fountain, giggling playgrounds, a disco roller skating contest, and a Dominican pride parade. My favorite part (besides the nap) was this 34-ton meteorite in the basement of the museum. I get scared about how small I am when I touch things from outer space.


Children blur past this retired giant


Worthless sparkling rock
