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. You can read more about that journey in this essay. 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.
The activities in the Appreciation section of the Start with a Park practice are designed to inspire you to create in collaboration with a park near you, in images, words, getting out on a limb (literally!) by climbing a tree, or through food. I would love to see what you create and would be honored to share your creations here.

Among the gray underbellies of a dispersing storm, a cloud top catches the light, a white echo of the nearby moon. (May 16, 6:20 a.m.)
