The only time I was truely able to "concentrate enough to read this book" was when I was walking around taking pictures. Sitting and writing, it was a challange to concentrate, You know. I had to try to concentrate and that made me concentrate even less. This garden is beautiful. It has made me realize that good things happen in nature. You should be truely happy here. The wedding that was going on here. I mean what a absolutley perfect place to have it. And I think that just emphisies tha whole "spirit of the garden," thing.That nature is love. The part that I love and used the most would have to be the trees. They are all so awesome, so tall, so strong, so breathtaking. Walking over the bamboo bridge was fun. That bridge was very cute. Walking around I almost forgot that I was here with people following a line. I was busy looking and being in "awe" of how pretty everything was. I did the whole hand and forehead washing thing, mind cleansing, but it really had no affect on me. I'm not very used to being that symbolic I guess. The old tree was dead and broken. It is very hard to imagin how that tree could of inspired this whole garden. It was once that alive and beautiful. I guess it was once. Oh my, tough question, "What would you want to see embodied in a garden to represent you after you have departed this life?" Kind of a how do you want to be remembered? type thing. I have no idea. I guess I would like to have abirdhouse built in to the biggest tree at the park by my house. And to have the 6th grade class at my old elementary school take it down every srprin and repaint it. That wold be cool. That way my memory would constantly be changing and always a happy thing. It would be called the JEC bird house, after Jennifer Elizabeth Cannoles. Yea, that is what I would want. It smells good out here. I'm not sure what that smell is, but it smells good. I wonder if anyone else can smell it. there are alot more people here than I expected, not from our class, just people here. I'm glad we came. Again it is probably another place in Austin that I never would of seen if not for this class. But now I might come back. I would love to bring my sister here. She would totally dig this place. She could spend a good 12 hours here and never get bored. OH NO! Oh, okay, I thought I lost my keys there for a minute. But they are right here. These palm looking bushes are cool. I am going to try to draw one. Don't laugh.
