Walk

At lunch today I decided to take a walk. The grounds of the building where I'm working may as well be a park it's so pretty, and I've rarely taken advantage of it by walking around, so decided to change that. I set out from a point behind the building and began walking toward the floodplane in back of the building, which was left wild. I discovered a small path behind one of the buildings that was lined with wild trees and shrubs, and had, to my surprise, four park bences. I never even knew that was back there. The feeling I got from it was intense relief at being in a small patch of wild land. Builders really, really, really need to leave such patches of wild all over the place. It is extremely important to mental health to be able to see, walk, breathe such areas. I only realize how the lack has affected me when I enter a wild place, and the tension of square corners is replaced by a cool breeze and breathable air. All this while walking around my building.

I've been working here for over a year, and never knew it was there.

Anyone else lose their top menu on the LJ login and info pages? I seem to have lost mine (meanwhile, using old style).
