Necessary Nature

I’m beginning to feel more settled in New Cross now, so I have started spending a lot of my time exploring. My favorite place that I’ve found is Telegraph Hill Park, about a 10 minute walk from my flat. It has a skate park, playground, and some lovely walking paths. I found myself going back there every day last week, just to walk around, sit and take in the fall colors, and breathe. I can’t go very long without being close to nature (I’m sure the quote “I need to be close to the earth! The earth is my element!” is popping into many of my friend’s heads right now). In Ann Arbor, I would frequently go to the Arb, Argo or Gallup Park and just sit by the Huron River (or dance in it). I think that Telegraph Hill will be a nice new nature escape.
