secret gardens.

i was walking through the streets of Williamsburg, particularly along the campus of William and Mary college the day before and i must admit i found it quite inspirational. the well worn brick walk ways and the gently swept courtyards were so beautiful i found myself compelled to walk on in search for more hidden treasures. even though the wind began to stir after the twilight deepened, i kept on in my search. i chanced upon a clandestine cemetery, perfectly apart and yet completely a whole of the school, and i thought to myself how romantic an idea that these students can everyday pass here and witness this beautiful testament to knowledge and intellect! it was so beautiful there, and even as i regretted the fact that the local Starbucks was out of soy, i found the crisp air refreshing and welcomed my walk deep into the evening. the leaves are starting to change colors there, and i found it so inspiring to sit on a worn bench under one of the most beautifully unique trees i have ever seen. it was most apparently ancient, with tall sweeping branches, and a gloriously twisted trunk. and i found that i could last here forever, only on the soul happiness of these little secret places! what a joy that little walk through the historic area was, as it always is! i have no idea why i do not live there myself!
