Freedom Favors the Bold.

Fork in the path is coming.

Put the phone down. Turn the radio off.

Make sure you are wearing these.

Focus.

Which way do you go?

The path with color and uncertainty seems to call you. Past a string of bulb lights over a stone patio at dusk. Past Rudy’s gas station and barbeque in San Antonio. Past the Bowery Hotel bar in Soho (at 1 a.m.). And, after you finish reading Clarissa (it was worth it).

You’re here. Chandelier has candles, not lights. Colors around you glisten like the Golden Temple in Punjab, India. Lyle is warming up his band. Your Italian friend, Gaetan, asks you to dance.

Feels good, doesn’t it?
