New York Love List

in honor of Sherry Richert Belul and http://thenewblack-friday.com/
(written in collaboration with Amy Tingle Williamson of www.bravegirlsart.com)

1. I love how even after the show ended, I was still singing.
2. I love that High Line is a writing metaphor.
3. I love how the view of the skyscrapers is less about outside than inside.
4. I love that every sidewalk square is a new discovery.
5. I love that in the midst of Times Square, and the chaos of holiday shoppers, your hand reaches to take mine.
6. I love the sound your boots make as we walk to Columbus Circle.
7. I love the improbable collisions, the small serendipities, the unexpected gifts that come just because you walked another block, or took the next subway, or waited for the tourists to pass before you crossed the street.
8. I love the constellations above Grand Central Station.
9. I love the maze of Central Park, and how I want to go there with you, now, and get lost.
10. I love the way my heart pulses in my fingertips when I share my favorite skyline with you.
