In The Metaphorical Arms Of The One I Love

After an insanely horrible meeting last night, I was going to meet Alyssa and Jeremy for a cocktail. Because the starting point was on the Upper West Side and the destination was Union Square, I decided to forgo the subway and splurge on a cab.

I was in a seriously bad mood, but as the driver entered the Central Park 86th St. transverse I started feeling a mood uplift. Through the park, then turning right on Fifth Avenue I was overwhelmed with elation. Looking through the darkened trees of the park toward the glow of midtown I was kicked in the face by the beauty of the scene. Being in the city, my city, and being reminded of its gorgeousness, made the stress melt away...
