i absolutely love

that when this sidewalk was created

someone noticed the majestic tree

growing for many years

beautiful in its natural place

respected it

and cared enough

to create a sidewalk that curved around it

rather than taking the tree out

to match the straight path that was planned.

—

‘in life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves.’
