I like having days to myself. Days where I have no obligation to anyone or anything and am free to do whatever I can come up with. I’ve always been a bit selfish that way...theres just something intensely pleasing about packing up as many books and creature comforts as I can fit into my bag, cramming some lunch unceremoniously on top of that and taking off with no particular destination in mind. Yesterday I wound up at the Moanalua Gardens and managed to befriend an outstandingly large tree, an impressively un-shy toddler, and about 10,000 ducks.
#okay it was more like 10 ducks#but it felt like more than 10#the little girl didn't have bread to feed the ducks so she was trying to feed them the leaves that were on the ground#needless to say the ducks were unimpressed by her offerings#I asked her if she wanted to share my bread and we became best of friends#it was great#moanalua garden#oahu#hawaii#tree#trees#picnic#yellow#cardigan#blackberries#tea#Rainer Maria Rilke#poetry#converse#converse all star
