What Retiro presented and shared with me

Can I please say that the park, Retiro, in Madrid is absolutely precious...? It is harmonic!!! Its beauty is filled with those rollerblading, who - even with a bit of snow scattered and melting from the prior day - make it through the crowds and across the sloshing, slick ice. Its statues are accented by those observers, those who pause for moments, whose eyes are captured - locked into the grooves of the stone...maybe even in wonder, for those moments just allowing themselves to be in their own pequeño mundo... Accompanied by a partner or solo, just lift your face up to ark back toward the warm beams of the sun... the warm beams that counter all the other senses of the body... those that tell you you should naturally feel anything but the kind reflection of the sun on your skin that gives you oh some sort of sentido tan agradable... but then you walk and walk and cannot help but be simply, maybe even blissfully, caught in the environment.
