You
arrive
in
Savannah
,
Georgia
,
and
the
air
is
warm
and
thick
.
The
streets
are
quiet
.
Grey
moss
hangs
from
the
trees
above
you
.
It
moves
slowly
in
the
breeze
.
Savannah
is
a
city
with
a
plan
.
The
plan
is
old
.
It
dates
from
1733
.
Today
the
city
has
22
public
squares
.
Each
square
has
trees
and
a
path
and
a
bench
.
The
trees
are
live
oaks
.
Their
branches
are
very
wide
.
They
reach
out
over
the
squares
and
over
the
roads
.
The
grey
moss
hangs
from
many
branches
.
It
is
called
Spanish
moss
.
You
can
walk
from
square
to
square
.
The
shade
keeps
you
cool
.
You
do
not
need
a
map
.
Each
square
leads
to
the
next
one
.
You
can
spend
a
whole
afternoon
this
way
.
Sit
on
a
bench
in
one
of
the
squares
.
Look
up
at
the
branches
.
Watch
the
moss
move
.
Listen
to
the
city
around
you
.
It
is
slow
here
.
That
is
the
point
.
When
you
leave
Savannah
,
you
carry
that
slowness
with
you
.
You
remember
the
shade
.
You
remember
the
grey
moss
in
the
warm
air
.
