A couple of weeks ago I was in NYC and I went to Central Park. This has not been a rare occurrence throughout my life since I grew up in Brooklyn. On this occasion I had time to kill before meeting a friend so I decided to grab a cookie at Levian's Bakery which has the most delicious cookies.I highly recommend if you are in the city and have never tired them before(http://www.levainbakery.com). Trust me. Anyway, after I brought the cookie(okay two cookies,but I shared them later with my friend) I headed into the park and sat on a bench right near The Imagine memorial for John Lennon.(I took the picture above).
The strange thing is for all the times I've been to Central Park I've never seen the memorial, even though I've looked for it before and it's right by the C train 72nd Street stop. There is no way I should have missed it!I've come right there for various charity walks,a half-marathon I did a couple of years ago, and I even took a philosophy class a few blocks away, but I never once passed it. It alluded me. It just makes me think that sometimes what you are looking for can be right in front of you, but you miss seeing it for whatever reason. Then when you are ready it presents itself effortlessly into your life. Of course, that doesn't always happen, but that's my take away.
