This tiny corner park in Santa Ana is hardly adventurous, but man, does it have some good juju.
I visited this park with a notepad and cup of coffee one Saturday morning. I finally realized it was much smaller than I had expected - simply just the corner of a very beautiful row of houses in Downtown Santa Ana. When I was growing up, we lived right on the border of Santa Ana and Tustin. I would venture to places in Santa Ana like Koo's Cafe and Norms diner as a teenager, but mostly there was no reason to visit Santa Ana. Now Santa Ana has a pretty cool art scene. I'm looking forward to visiting some of the downtown art galleries and the Gypsy Cafe.
Anyways, I sat down in this little park and started writing furiously for my kids-science theater show. I've been tormented with writers block for the last 6 months. It felt great to finally purge some ideas from my brain onto paper. Maybe it was the good vibes of the Sarah May Downie Herb Garden that helped out.
