The path is marked and hidden

A hidden path

I was walking through a park and noticed this small openning near the path and as I got a little closer I could see the stones walkway leading me into this dense brush and some bushes. Anyone else may have just kept walking, but I was so curious I just had to follow and I am so glad that I did. I entered what can only be described as a secret garden with beautiful trees and flowes, humming birds and butterflies. I followed the path to a bench and just sat there looking at the tree branches blowing in the breeze. I sat there for a long while, just enjoying the solitude and taking in the energy of the wild life all around me. I could’ve sat there all day, but the bugs weren’t having any of that. I got up and walked away with a sense of peace and gratitude for the time. The time to reflect, to enjoy nature and renew. I’ve been back here several times and it always welcomes me back with open arms. The secret garden nestled away in Teaneck, NJ just waiting to be discovered.
