Steps

Since the subway is partially recovering, this morning I was able to get until Wall Street and see the very South of Manhattan.
Firemen are still working very hard to get things back to normal, there's still a lot of water to pump out and there are big power generators everywhere.

So I take a few steps and get to the shore: I am facing the Statue of Liberty, where the Hudson and the East River meet. This place is very quiet, just a few runners around, New York State of Mind is playing in my head. There is a beautiful sun, there are seagulls and there is the Brooklyn Bridge and I am sitting right here:

And everything makes sense.

I can see every step that brought me here. I see the work I put in this and how much it costed me. In terms of eveything.

And I am grateful.

First of all to myself, for making it true.

And then to everybody who kept the sparkle alive, cause sometimes it was just hard.

Because now

Here I am.
