There’s a word, an obscure one, that describes people taking pictures that have been taken countless times. It’s because we all share a appreciation for certain things.

I took one this morning, early.

Before the throngs, before the day truly woke up.

The lamp post evoked a touch of Narnia. Early morning Monday, a time that normally excludes magic.

I had a cup of bitter coffee in my hand as I watched the trickle of people either meander without purpose or shuffle with reluctant efficiency.

As for me, I stood there as the sunrise creeped up on my left, over the top of history.

I tucked the memory of the view into a small corner of my mind. I’ll visit it again later, as life creeps back into my normalcy.

For now, the breeze is my companion.

Love, X
