You are up early, so you go for a drive. There is a dense fog hanging in the air after the thunder storms that passed through in the night. The air is cooler now, but you can tell it will still be too hot for your liking in only a few hours. You don't know exactly where to go but you head towards where you have been the past few days. You take streets named Mission, Lafayette, Highland, turn right on Dickson and then left on Block. You are now at what is called "the square." The heart of downtown. You park the car and get out, you notice the stillness, the moist air, your breath, your feet firmly on the pavement. You walk up some stairs to a paved trail. You wonder why you don't start your day at 6 am surrounded by flowers and beauty everyday.

You take a leisurely walk and see your surroundings through new eyes...
