And stopped and listened

More deeply

Someone meditated, someone prayed

Someone met their shadow

And people begin to think differently

And people healed

And in the absence of people who lived in ignorant ways

Dangerous, meaningless and heartless

The Earth also began to heal

And when the danger ended

People found themselves

They grieved for the dead and made new choices

And dreamed of new visions

And created new ways of living

And completely healed the Earth

Just as they were healed

Bethesda Terrace, in Central Park, NYC, is an architectural marvel and one of the first structures built in Central Park. Designed by Architect Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux, construction began in 1859, continued through the Civil War, and was finished by 1863.

Frederick Law Olmstead is also well known for being the architect who designed Prospect Park, in Brooklyn. And in Chicago, for the 1st World's Fair. Olmstead is also featured in the non-fiction account penned by Erik Larson, Devil In The White City.

Back in the early 1980s, when I lived in NYC, I loved spending Saturday afternoons, walking around Central Park. I remember visiting this bridge structure and underground arcade area back in 1982. Back then, Central Park was very different. Lot's of people congregated in the park on Saturday or Sunday afternoons, but I also took a horse carriage ride through out the park and I won't ever forget that day or the weather (it was simply gorgeous) or the many taxi's or the many people who would walk the streets, day or night.

Bethesda Terrace is truly a remarkable architectural structure for the time in which is was constructed and a landmark of beauty.

I am so upset with my bank and the paycheck protection program. I was one of the first to compete an application for my dance studio and it appears the bank made good on larger loans to make money and left smaller businesses like me out in the cold, now I may have to close and my two dance teachers will be on the unemployment line just like me. I am so mad and sad 😞
