Writing to you from the eternal city. I can feel my spirit invigorated and happy from being in a city with a human soul and a rich history of adoring all that is beautiful. I am breathing in the fresh air of the Mediterranean spring, and watching cherry blossoms swaying in the breeze on tree branches black from rain. I am gazing at the golden sunlight cascading over unreal marble facades of magnificent beauty. I am drinking cappuccino and I am alive and I am remembering how beauty revitalizes us.
