Greenery Green Me
There's this one section of the bus ride between me and my Tai Chi studio that is almost unreal. You go along merrily through suburban dullness, commercial wasteland, and industrial paradiso, and then all of a sudden you're coasting between rows of trees on the mountain brow; coasting in such a way that you almost feel like you're floating in the branches with the blossoms. I feel detached from the mundane world around me when in this part of the route; even the noises of the bus are dimmed and less offensive. I feel fresh here, at peace, calm.
