I am all about the love these days! From my last NYC love letter to today, apparently I’m feelin’ the love…
One of my absolute favourite places in the world is Central Park. Hands down.Meandering along the winding pathways past the Great Lawn, big trees create shade for joggers and dog-walkers alike.
And among all this beauty sit the bright green benches of Central Park. Most interesting to me about these benches is the fact that pretty much every single one has a plaque with an inscription on it. Reading these inscriptions when in Central Park has fast become my favourite pastime. And I wanted to share a few of my favourite inscriptions…
I love Lucy, Henry and Hannah already. Their dad must have done something pretty darn good to have kids who would think to do something so beautiful in his honour…
The history and strength of this inscription made me stop and catch my breath… and then feel gratitude for their lives.
Can’t you just see Amy’s face? Can’t you? The ring? The surprise? I can think of no better way to propose… [note, sorry this one’s slightly out of focus but someone was about to sit down and I literally ran to snap it!]
And this last one? Well it’s my all-time favourite…
All manner of things happen in this park. Loss. Laughter. Fun. But in all of this is big life. And even bigger love. The plaques are a silver-on-green testament to it. It makes me wonder if I had ten words or less, what would I most want to say? What would you want to inscribe? Think about it. There’s a Central Park bench just waiting to hear what you have to say…
