The Jewel Box is a glorified greenhouse tucked into an odd corner of an urban park. It costs a dollar to enter, and the price is right- there is a reason it is not numbered among the park's main attractions. You enter the greenhouse and find...a greenhouse. Plus toilets, a drinking fountain, and an scattering of sad white chairs that scream"busy wedding venue."
But in winter, on a weekday during the daytime, it is quiet and light and warm and smells of blooming.
I write this post to attest to the payment of my dollar. The requisitioning of my white chair. My open eyes, my breath.
