trees

To know that I love the city so much and all of the energy, life and constant movement it brings, I am sometimes surprised, really surprised about the beauty of nature and that every now and then, I find myself in a place wondering how I could possibly love the city at all.

Today, I spent a beautiful afternoon with some friends at their bonsai nursery, in the middle of the country, far from the noise of the city, the hardness of the sidewalks and the endless streams of people. It was lovely. No shoes, the most amazing bonsai trees you could imagine, some as old at 300 years and quiet. I bet if I had listened closely, some of those trees would have been whispering to me, asking me why I think about the city life so much-what could it have to offer? I suppose though, that while I love to visit there, I just might get restless if I stayed for too long-thank goodness I can go whenever they'll have me and hopefully can, even if I live in the city one day...
