A Secret Place

Last Wednesday, I took 15 minutes to feed my soul.

The lure of the cherry blossoms in a park across from the Renaissance Suzhou was too much to resist. So after a 2-hour teleconference with the US, I put on a light jacket and went for a walk.

I'm glad I did.

In a quiet spot behind some bamboo groves, I stopped to admire the beautiful blossoms, enjoy the tranquility of the park and the rustling of the breeze. I waited for my soul to catch up with me.

This oasis is situated right in the heart of the busy, bustling & polluted Suzhou Industrial Park, and I would have missed it had I not taken 15 minutes from a busy day to stop and smell the cherry blossoms.
