Just have to say. You know how one note or one brush stroke or one extra word can make something that's discordant become suddenly harmonious. Today I took a walk around a Globa Park and what had seemed to me previously like a micro dystopia (see the first entry) took on a surprisingly fresh image for me.
Being a holiday weekend it was busy, and I think it must have been all the people there strolling, drinking beer on benches, etc. that served as the unifying element to make that mess make sense. I was struck by how vividly the symmetry of the aqua theater cut. It made me think about the Guernica, which is not all unpleasent. Even the garish colors of the play structures seemed like extensions of the enjoyment of the children attached to them. The naked trees were in all the right places. It wasn't worn out; it was charming.
