these city streets - part I

There are some things that can't be ignored. For example, try as we might to ignore it, our Canadian winter extends its hand all the way into May. It is also an inevitable fact that my body is perpetually cold.

Today, both of these things were ignored.
Today, the sun did not shine, but the wind and springtime showers were warm on my face.

The streets of this city drew me, held me tight, and installed within me a wish to keep walking, exploring, and learning, forever.
