The gate.
Inside is an oasis of quiet calm. As I climbed the path, I grew more tranquil inside with every step. The garden stands on a hilltop in Washington Park, high above the downtown skyscrapers. Below, there’s a huge rose garden. The paths were almost empty because of the intermittent heavy showers.
Waterfalls plashed in the background.
Everywhere, there was stillness…
And peace.
It’s a place outside of time.
