An 'Over the Wall' Technique
Yesterday I went to Sydney, and ended up having some time to spare.
So, forsaking the bustle of the city streets I stepped over the hill and down into the peace and tranquillity of the Botanic Gardens.
That couple of steps through the convict-build sandstone walls may as well have been through a stargate ... it is a different world.
On one side of the wall, frenzied turmoil that masquerades as modern living.
This side, a calmness and a beauty that would turn on those tortured souls racing about just moments away.
How many busy places hide such pockets of uplifting peace?
And what have you done to help your self to what they offer near you?
