Appreciation

The phrase Moments in the Park was originally used to describe short prose poems inspired by observations on walks through Horton Park and other outdoor spaces. Throughout 2016, I crafted Moments in the Park as a daily practice. I have continued to write Moments in the Park, just not as frequently as that first year.
Here you will find the prose poems as well as expansions telling the story of the inspiration, reflecting on a related theme, or digging deeper into learning about the subject.
I also hope that you will be inspired to create your own Moments in the Park, in words, images, sound, or whatever medium suits you. If you would like to share your creations, I would be happy to post them!

An unexpected songbird’s daybreak chirping startles me to stillness.
Horton Park

With a temperature near zero, it was one of the brilliant, clear, crisp mornings that are the epitome of deep winter in Minnesota. Sun breaking over the horizon ricocheted off old snow polished by the wind to shiny smoothness. Walking through the park, listening to the hollow creaks and squeaks of snow under my boots, chirping birds were the last thing I expected to hear.
