Curraheen Public Walk in Cork

Beautiful Park 😃

I took a trip here as it was my final exam in my 2nd year of college. I sat down on one of the benches and took in the silence of the overcast day. Not many people were around, summer was on the horizon but it was still slightly cold. I had a few minutes until my bus would take me away from this moment of peacefulness.I wanted to absorb as much of it as i could, seeing the river flow calmly, the trees wiggle slightly, the dog walkers, mothers with buggies. The rush they do to arrive at there destination while i sat and watched. Unknowing. Calm. Collected. My face would only serve a moment on their minds if they even truly glanced at me, the same as my brain with theirs. They have it all worked out i thought. Objectively from a glance i figured a random passerby has it all figured out, why would i think that way? What does it mean to have it all figured out? How would you feel? Relief? Isnt it the challenge that drives us?The idle chatter of golfers in the nearby pitch and putt club filled my ears. It was too quiet to understand but just by the slight noise you could tell it was a positive or even humorous conversation. It was good that they felt good. I hoped that they felt good. A breath of air and I was on my feet, back towards the bus stop. I still took my time knowing that the time i spent lingering could mean waiting another hour for another bus if i missed this one, but that was a worthy sacrifice. I dont like college so much, even some of the area around the college makes me uncomfortable in some way. But I like it here, on this public walk. Its simple and elegant in a natural way. I should return soon.
