The destination of my Friday walk was the Bowring Park in Wellington. I chose not to walk shortest route so that I could enjoy some other features on my way. My walk took me past Wellington Cemetery.
After my walk around Bowring Park I found a pathway that lead me into the cemetery. The park was busy and noisy but as I stepped into the cemetery grounds I found peace and tranquility. The contrast was quite striking.
On this occasion I enjoyed the peace and tranquility and I know I will be back to walk in that place again soon. I chose the shortest route back home which chimed with the peacefulness of my experience in the cemetery.
My dad used to make a terrible joke about the cemetery being the “dead centre” of town
