My walk- I was walking down the sidewalk, passing several areas of the large park I was walking in. Kids running around and jumping on the swirling seats and jungle gyms. Moms sitting on the benches with their heads tilted up towards the warm, bright sun, enjoying their little tanning time. A soft sound of the overfilled stream rushing through the trees and under the bridge. Everything in sight was just peaceful and calm. I kept walking toward the stoplights to go through the crosswalk and keep coming upon this little girl spinning in a swirling seat. Her arms and legs both sprawled out from the seat, her feet pushing her every few moments, and her head dangling down. I couldn't exactly tell what she was doing at first, I thought she was just being a silly child and spinning until she got sick. Trying to see how long she could go before she had to stop and take a quick breather before everything came out of her small stomach. But she just kept spinning, I decided to see if what she was doing was just so fun or just so calm. I walked to one of the several swirling chairs and sat down, I attempted to do the same thing she was and sprawl out, but those seats were just so small and I'm just so much taller then that small child. I walked up to her and asked, "are you having fun?" She didn't stop. So I figured she was scared and didn't want to talk to a stranger about how long she's been spinning or what she was even doing. So I understood, smiled and walked away. As I was walking I turn around and she still keeps spinning. She looked so stress free and happy, I wished I could try it myself. Too bad you have to grow up sometime, right? I got to Hardees and couldn't stop thinking about the small child. I took more of a thought into it and started to realize she was just trying to find a peaceful thing to do. Spinning and letting your face and body warm up in the sun with the sounds of the outdoors around you? One of the best things in life. She was probably imagining herself on a beach, laying next to the water and tanning like there's no tomorrow. Opening her eyes to dogs splashing through the water just to catch a Frisbee their owners throw for them. Seeing so many items of food along the pierre and a huge amusement park as well. Life at it's finest. She has a good imagination, and that says a lot.
