You could drive past. But you don't. Because this bench, on the dike near Czelin, is more than just wood on concrete. It is a promise: of expanse, wind, and water. Anyone who sits down here has nothing to do – and that's precisely the point. Your gaze wanders over the reeds swaying in the Oder like thoughts half asleep. Perhaps a boat chugs by. Perhaps just a dragonfly. The inscription on the backrest – "Orning-Gross" – seems like a final greeting or a silent thank you to those who made this place possible. You sit, you are silent, you marvel: at so much peace. And then you drive on, as if you had become lighter.
