Ch 45: Solace in the City

In the most exciting city in the world it can be tough to find a place to step back from it all- an escape from the velocity that comes with being at the forefront of the future. I was fortunate enough to find such a spot on my morning walks through the city. The Suzhou "creek" runs along the northern borders of the Jingan district. I found a small riverside park there one day. It was quiet, with the exceptions of the sounds of the city in the background, the whispers of the flowing water and the occasional water-going vessel. It was lonely, with the exception of an old couple taking a stroll and later on a mother teaching her young son to walk. It was my piece of the city and I relished every moment of it.
