Across the street there is cool shady green. As we cross the street the sounds of others talking and laughing reaches our ears. The humming of cars' motors is strong. The street noise seems overwhelming. Only two feet away birds are singing.
Nature is alive and protected.
The sun shines on the grass and the warmth is felt on our faces, necks, backs, and arms. We are aware of it. Through the grass set within stone is a statue. It is a tall graceful lady. We all sit down to observe and write about the sensations and setting.
