All in a golden afternoon, under the skies of cloudless blue. Falling in love with all that surrounded me. I shut my eyes tightly, trying like hell to hold onto this moment. Feeling the breeze coming off of Lake Michigan, the faint warmth of the sun and as I open my eyes the deep green of the earth around me, stuck in the middle of the concrete and history and architecture.

The golden afternoon casts a warm light upon an industrial, dirty place. Transforming it into a romantic, intimate place where I share my heart with the buildings, sidewalks, and people. Shedding the weight I’ve bared, allowing the sky to lift it off my shoulders if only for a short time.

Weightless and free in this place resounding with sirens and screaming. Here I am allowed to let go. And I do. I let it all go.
