If I were to describe to you the Fort Worth Water Gardens in one word, it would be tranquil. The day I went it was overcast, chilly, and there was an aura of silence. Interacting with water is something I have done since I was young. Being from Florida, getting to the beach took little time, and I did it often. I have always loved the humble feeling I get walking away from the ocean, imagining myself as a tiny drop of water in this ocean of life.
The Fort Worth Water Gardens is very different. While it is large, it isn't huge in a way that is isn't comprehensible; I can see to the other side of it. I don't get the same feeling; instead I see art. The way there are only a few paths to get down to the center was something I connected with the idea of success. In life, there are only so many paths you can take to get to where you want to be.
Sitting, just watching the micro-water falls made me peaceful, tranquil, and thoughtful. Worries drifted through my mind and directly out of it with the lapping of the water. If anyone has anxieties, please visit this sacred place. It will hug your mind out of its worries.
