In Need of Nature

Some days living in the City, I need to see some trees, hear birds chirping among all this concrete, traffic, blaring horns and lights. I try to make my place a sanctuary with pictures of the woods, ocean thematics, vine-accented window shades. I need to do that to balance out what's right outside my window. Maybe I need to find a park to plant myself in for awhile this afternoon.

Append: I went to a nursery down the street, enjoyed the greenery and brought a plant home. Later, I took the 200 steps up to California Street and sat in a park. All's right again.
