The Reincarnation of City Park

Without a dog attached to my hip, I am not motivated to go out first thing for my daily constitutional and so today after being in front of the computer for much too long a period, I got myself up and went for a walk. And of course, the path is different because I’m on this side of the bayou, which still has me sort of turned around in the car. And my gateway to the park is across the Esplanade Bridge and onto the entrance on LeLong.

As much as I miss the intimacy of my walks along City Park Drive because the path followed the lagoon under huge hundred year old oaks and there was lots of fowl and feathers for my daily meditation, the Big Lake and the new jogging path hold their own beauty. I veered off the Big Lake path and onto the new running path, which is I believe almost a mile around. I came across an outdoor exercise pavilion which is beyond cool.

On the way back around the path, I encountered two women who were in the midst of a walky talky and one said: “It’s about business. See, there’s my business. There’s your business. And there’s God’s business. I’ve been spending too much time worrying about God’s business.”

And there you have it – my constitutional complete, I returned home.

    Oh I really like that one. So many people wrap their lives up in the “your business” and “God’s business”. That puts it plain and simple. 🙂
