- Richard walked slowly through Central Garden gathering empathy from the many plants and trees that graced the paths and brook that entwined this retreat. The solar emission cells produced the ultimate environment for the flora to grow to perfection. All the silent sounds filled the garden with the beautiful colors of a prism. Soft brown soil giving way to gently swirling blue water that caressed each rock in the brook gave complement to the tree implanted in an island in the brook. Atop the arch of the bridge, Richard paused and leaned on the rail with his forearms. His eyes focused on the deep luster of an apple on the tree. His face rolled into abysmal thought that nurtured his soul. The silence was ripped apart by his cool blue eyes resounding the energy generated within his mind. The apple seemed to scream with pain.
