the interim

You are in this time of the interim

Where everything seems withheld.

The path you took to get here has washed out;

The way forward is still concealed from you...

What is being transfigured here is your mind,

And it is difficult and slow to become new.

The more faithfully you can endure here,

The more refined your heart will become

For your arrival in the new dawn.

-John O'Donohue

an afternoon at Fellows Riverside Gardens

 A couple weeks ago, my roommate and I spent an afternoon at Fellows Riverside Gardens (Mill Creek Park). We dodged rain, but managed to spend a couple hours wandering around. It was a nice place to spend a couple of quiet hours.

Want to check out the City of Youngstown?

Fellows is one of my favorite places to spend an afternoon.

This was my favorite flower.
