driving up the coast

sierra was there. It was beautiful. I was shocked at the beauty of the universe. How god could draw together the perfect lights and glass reflecting and purple wildflowers and stone and water. then i suddenly remembered driving it before. the cement and graffiti from the la river. it wasn't like this. this was some landscape architect's vision. we got to a place. a school. probably elementry school. with red brick. climbing around the outside. a crane. we went to the top of the crane some one was looking for directions. we went up there.
