Through the fields, through the woods, across the empty stream bed with its smooth stones, upriver to a rock in the middle of the flowing river. Because when you feel like you need to just get out and relax and forget about things for awhile, a rock in the middle of a babbling river is the best thing to drown out your thoughts. Coincidentally, it also makes you have to pee.
You can stay out there until the sun starts to go down, the clouds start to shift, the Blackhawk flies past you on his way back home for the evening, the rock spider becomes a bit too comfortable with your presence for your own comfort, and you really just can't hold it anymore.
Then you can hop back to the shore from your rock, walk down the empty stream bed with its smooth stones, downriver to where the stream meets the path, discover that the land you're on is Flood Control No Tresspassing, slip back into the park through a little grove of trees and a bend in the fence, and walk back through the fields as the sun goes down, and the moon comes up on the other side.
And then watch the first four episodes of Avatar on nick.com.
It's a beautiful world, just don't forget to be a part of it.
