Das Tor Ins Nichts

Oh, a perfect afternoon!  80 degrees, sunny, cool air coming off the water, sailboats, sunbathers, and knowing that there is nowhere I have to be.  I have plenty of time for a leisurely 4 mile walk home after work.

I pick a route through James Madison Park and follow the lake home.

A chance to slip off my shoes, lay back on the grass, and listen to the seagulls overhead.  This almost makes me want to live downtown.

There are men playing frisbee, a woman with a ukulele, people reading, kids playing in the waves, any excuse to be outside in the beautiful weather.  We take advantage of every day that isn't filled with snow or rain.

The sound of the water and inviting sand are too much to resist.  I wade in, the water is surprisingly warm.

What a great way to spend an afternoon.  This is how every work day should end.  It pushes that world far away.  This kind of slow quiet time lets me appreciate what's around me and gives my imagination space to come alive again.  If this is nowhere - I want to be there.
