THE ADVOCACY FOR SITTING ON A BENCH

Whenever I find a nice bench, at the perfect spot, the weather’s right, and the scenery is balanced, I fall into deep euphoria. Sitting on a bench with the right conditions is the having the pleasure to sit and have real-life happen in front of you with many different perspectives. So many storylines are happening all at once and none of them are true, but the mind yearns for label and context. You get the opportunity to view movement, stillness, flight, nature, industrialism all at once and take it all in. It’s a real-life non-narrative film happening and dependent on where you are, your mind will tell you that it feels the same, but everything’s always changing, we’re evolving by the second, and the power of sitting on a bench to witness our slow, but fast existence is an experience I think we should appreciate and partake in more often.
