faster and faster.<br />Down 3rd then 4th; quicker, faster.<br />Hair flowing, eyes open, noise but no sound.<br />Mind focused and distracted as the leaves hit the ground.<br />The wind picks up and so does her pace,<br />Just a normal day with panic on her face.<br />A girl amongst a crowd of chaos she is,<br />Just another in the city, just another among the nothingness...<br />No one stops, no one lingers, no one smiles, no one looks to notice the hand, the fingers....<br />She grips tighter and tighter, and yet faster she goes -<br />To where and to what no one really knows.<br /><br />She's swept up in the race that everyone seems to run.<br />The race to nothing, the race that's never won.<br />Yet on this day she'll realize what many never will...<br />That it's a beautiful Autumn day - trees restless, squirrels still.<br />And as a leaf falls right into her pretty little hand,<br />She'll stop for awhile, on that street corner she'll stand.<br />The noise will continue and the race might not even slow,<br />But she'll notice the direction in which the wind does blow!<br />So on that day in Autumn, on Grove Street she'll stand,<br />If only to realize that life is amazingly grand -<br />That while we all must run in a race from time to time,<br />It's really about the pauses in between that make life so perfectly divine!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iyCyc5uwqWQ/SPpbsQPsfRI/AAAAAAAABN8/JNDdVYIU8ZU/s1600-h/DSC01557.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iyCyc5uwqWQ/SPpbsQPsfRI/AAAAAAAABN8/JNDdVYIU8ZU/s400/DSC01557.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258616330741644562" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iyCyc5uwqWQ/SPpbsvG2MHI/AAAAAAAABOE/EODSyxgi-UE/s1600-h/DSC01556.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iyCyc5uwqWQ/SPpbsvG2MHI/AAAAAAAABOE/EODSyxgi-UE/s400/DSC01556.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258616339026030706" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iyCyc5uwqWQ/SPpbtIg0x6I/AAAAAAAABOM/J9XsOqcZY74/s1600-h/DSC01554.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iyCyc5uwqWQ/SPpbtIg0x6I/AAAAAAAABOM/J9XsOqcZY74/s400/DSC01554.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258616345845876642" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iyCyc5uwqWQ/SPpbtbAW_RI/AAAAAAAABOU/r1-nFsnquuA/s1600-h/DSC01553.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iyCyc5uwqWQ/SPpbtbAW_RI/AAAAAAAABOU/r1-nFsnquuA/s400/DSC01553.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258616350809980178" border="0" /></a><br />...I guess you could say that my adventure in Prospect Park is just one among the many pauses I've taken living here in NYC!...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6857508891382668901-8228863693898318554?l=salmlagranmanzana.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12183495997006700908noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857508891382668901.post-41068880833587128382008-10-18T14:45:00.000-07:002008-10-18T14:48:41.957-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iyCyc5uwqWQ/SPpZWcBDHdI/AAAAAAAABNc/g8jEz7nkgFU/s1600-h/P1010073.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iyCyc5uwqWQ/SPpZWcBDHdI/AAAAAAAABNc/g8jEz7nkgFU/s400/P1010073.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258613756921060818" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iyCyc5uwqWQ/SPpZWoo2pOI/AAAAAAAABNk/XgsrpKlXLCs/s1600-h/P1010069.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iyCyc5uwqWQ/SPpZWoo2pOI/AAAAAAAABNk/XgsrpKlXLCs/s400/P1010069.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258613760309241058" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iyCyc5uwqWQ/SPpZXNoZ2KI/AAAAAAAABNs/tKZNef93bBo/s1600-h/P1010071.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iyCyc5uwqWQ/SPpZXNoZ2KI/AAAAAAAABNs/tKZNef93bBo/s400/P1010071.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258613770239465634" border="0" /></a><br />This is a practically its own city!
