I miss New York City. Well...sometimes. And I do wish I could be there again, sometimes. I miss its seasons, including winter, somewhat.
Spring, on the other hand, is a sight to behold. The first warm day brings wonderful chaos. The gasp of Spring. Nobody stays home.
The same people you saw in some place last spring are out there again, doing the same thing. Some take out their roller blades for a glorious skate through Greenwich Village and Washington Square Park. Others don their favorite semi tropical shorts and T-shirts, and go for that long awaited walk with or without their SO.
If you could, you'd leave your house for the whole day. You'd see people you haven't seen for a century. You'd hug and you'd kiss and you'd stay locked in each other's arms and it really feels warm. It feels like Spring.
NYC has more mojo than any other city in the Union. I say so. New Yorkers' say so. Los Angelinos say, "Hold my beer". They have Spring every day, so nothing special for them.
I miss New York's universality. And more. It's hard to believe it could get lonely in the city but it can.
You don't want to ever break up with someone in NYC in Springtime. That town will tear you down and spit your guts to its pavement. Life goes on but you're not in it.
You'll have to wait for next Spring. And, if you're lucky, you thank God again for Spring in the city; everything exploding again with color and splash.
Little buds break through the concrete seeking the King's light. And flowers and bees dance the dance of life and love unleashed. The trees smile at you when you pass by, and a late winter leaf clumsily swipes your face in a warm sweet gust.
And you smile inside because you've been touched by glory. And what is so great is that it all happens all of a sudden--on that fine sunny, breezy day in Springtime in New York.
What an invigorating description, and beautiful photos. Makes one want to visit.
Thank you very much, Lor! ❤️
Beautiful imagery!
Thank you, Michele. You have excellent taste! :)
My friend, your writing is such a rare jewel and when the value is recognized, the price will astound even you.
Hopefully, I'll still be above the ground when that happens. 😂
Your funny absurdities make me laugh, but ideally are not even close to reality. (You’re not going anywhere if it’s left up to me!)
I certainly won't. Not until my work is done here, and I'm far from that. Like light years away. Thank you, cuzz! I love you too. 💕
