Ever since I was young, I would go to Central Park in New York every summer while visiting my sisters. Central Park is undeniably my favorite place in the whole world. I think simply strolling through the park and taking in New York’s eccentric sights is an event that is commemorative of me. If there were to be such a commemorative ritual, it would be any day during July, the hottest month of the year in the city. Although the actions people would have to do during this commemoration would only last a few minutes, they can stay as long as they want afterwards.
During this commemoration, one would take a walk around the whole park, climb up to the very top of the rocks, and just enjoy the views of the children playing in the playground, girls tanning on the grass, a friendly baseball game, families relishing a picnic for lunch, street musicians playing harmonious music, vendors selling hot dogs and ice cream, etc. At this “ritual,” I would like everyone there to recite, “What a wonderful life this truly is.” Because this commemoration is so casual, there is no specific attire or food necessary. I would just like people to take a couple of minutes out of their busy days to merely take a walk through the beautiful Central Park and clear their heads.
