2. What I see, feel, think and want when on my bench

What I see when I'm sitting on my bench

When I am sitting on the bench, directly in front of me I see all kinds of trees, ferns, shrubs, and various weeds that are quite densely populated around each other. When I look towards my left I see: part of the fence that surrounds the back of the bench, a few trees some large, some small and the pathway in between which leads to the huge stair set that I mentioned earlier. When I look towards my right I see another part of the fence behind the bench, all sorts of vegetation and the winding pathway in between all of it that is steadily going uphill. If I try to turn my head back either way I see most of the fence that borders the bench and behind it there is a tiny creek that has large boulders in it and all kinds of shrubbery over hanging the creek banks. Lastly, when I look up I see a miss-shaped opening that is somewhat matching the pattern of the trail with trees on both sides of the opening. Through the opening in the trees there is dark grey clouds with a few lighter patches throughout. As I am sitting on this bench I feel slightly cold and I get a feeling of loneliness as well as uneasiness mostly because there is clearly no one else around at the moment and the rain combined with the dark grey clouds stimulate a feeling of discomfort. At the moment I’m getting thoughts of peacefulness and relaxation, despite the unappealing conditions the forests scenery prompts calming thoughts and lets me reminisce about my child hood memories at this bench and the park as a whole. When I’m sitting at my symbolic bench I feel a want for nicer weather. Firstly, I’d like this rain to stop as well as these clouds to move on and be replaced with blue bird skies. The thought of wanting nicer weather leads on to the want of the summer to return. I’d really love the summer to return so the good old swimming holes may once again be used and also basking on the rocks surrounding the swimming holes could be a reality again.
