I love going to Griffith Park in Los Angeles and love how close it is to where I live. Sometimes when the going gets tough I have to remember to pull myself away and go back to Nature. And walking among the wildflowers or even just laying in the grass watching the grey clouds move (when it's a very cloudy day you have to concentrate a bit to see the clouds move, at least from my experience), it reminds me that I'm but a small creature, only human. Whatever decisions I make everything else moves on. Should I stay still and do nothing? Or press on?



I choose to press on. Always.
