Relief

The backyard of the cathedral was a garden as well as a graveyard.
Nobody was there, except for me. Suddenly I found myself in a private space. The garden walls prevented me from being seen from the street.
Well, alone… I was surrounded by a wild abundance of trees and plants and flowers. In between were grass pathways and some gray headstones.
The place welcomed me, like a mother, or maybe like a masseur whose gonna relief your back ache. Except it wasn’t my back that needed relief, it was my heart.
All these hours among strange, foreign and very high-brow people – I needed a moment of relaxation.
When I had walked around for maybe fifteen minutes, I saw a young girl entering the place. She didn’t notice me, because of the plants between us. Her face was weary, but when she sat down on a bench, I saw it relaxing. She seemed relieved, just like I had been fifteen minutes ago.
I watched her for a minute and then quietly left the garden, leaving it all to her.
