Central Park

With my final few hours before my flight I headed north for a solo walk through Central Park. Everyone is rich here. No matter your salary, whether your a banker on Wall Street, a model on 5th avenue, a street vendor on 125th, or a law student all are equal here. All get to enjoy the best New York has to offer. The grass is green on all sides of the rectangular oasis. Softballs fly, books are read, boats float, and in all time passed leisurely. I miss this place tremendously when I am in the dead heat of Texas, when we are all locked up in-doors in front of the air conditioner, unable to enjoy community and the cool shade of a tree. It took me a long time to figure this out, but the true riches of New York are free.
