sunday loafing

yesterday I met a friend at a local coffee shop. after coffee we took a walk around town and through the nearby park/garden. while I've been through this park numerous times, it seems that each time I enter it I'm completely mystified by it. it's quite small compared to others in the area, but it's the park's simplicity that makes it so special and beautiful. of course it did help that yesterday's weather was exceptionally nice after the cold front/rain we've been experiencing. anyways while walking along one of the paths my friend pointed out this stick or post or whatever it is:

there are four sides with this quote (?) declaration (?) hope/wish (?) and one is English with the others reading in German, Spanish and French. I took a picture of all sides with my camera on my phone, but it wasn't until last night that I realized I had captured an awesome angle with the English/French showing together. my day was beautiful, but even more so because things like this exist and make me realize that there are some places where peace and peacefulness is possible, alive and present. maybe that's another reason why I'm so taken by this park.
