I don’t particularly like big cities (to be fair, I don’t particularly dislike them). I prefer open spaces and grass and unobstructed views. But I do like early mornings in the city. There is a sense of awakening, of a place shaking off slumber to engage (embrace may be too much to hope for) the day. I will be headed out on my own little walk to awaken with the city here in a few minutes and begin to engage this last.day of 2021. And to find some breakfast tacos!
