Stillness in one of the busiest cities of the world
When I walked in Battery Park in June 2019 I saw that they had torn down My Favorite Place in the city and this made me a bit sad. I used to go there all the time when we lived there (it’s in the back of our old apartment). Nobody else really used this space then and it was weirdly quiet there, just the sound of the water underneath hitting the poles.
When my husband and I walked by this area two weeks ago, we saw to our surprise that they had rebuilt it. Guess if I was happy🤸🏼♀️
Now however it seems to be a popular place, a perfect spot for yoga during pandemic it looked like.
I was obviously not sitting in meditation for more than a couple of minutes for this photo. But that’s not what the picture represents. I see it as a picture of what I felt all those times I’ve been sitting there by myself meditating while we lived next door for four years. Stillness in NYC does exist.
And this time I got to share it with our “Lilliput” (that’s what we call the bump)💗
