\"window\"<\/p>\n

I look out this windows every work day. Sometimes it’s sunny. Other times rainy or snowy. <\/p>\n

Often times the sky is blue, the clouds are white and the wind blowing through the trees beckons me to them. <\/p>\n

This window sits at the end of a long hallway. <\/p>\n

\"hallway\"<\/p>\n

Even on gray days like today, my view out this window is enticing. I work in a basement most of the day. No windows. No light. It’s only when I venture out of my lair to run tickets and see customers do I get to enjoy a view outside. <\/p>\n

Something other than pixels. Screens. Beige. Dreary, stained basement carpet. It’s nice to look at something more. Something alive and moving. <\/p>\n

The basement office is always stagnant. Everyday it’s the same colors, smells, sights and sounds. <\/p>\n

Outside is vibrant and alive. <\/p>\n

Whenever I are this window, I wish I could walk up to it and fly right through it out to the sky. To soar among the treetops. <\/p>\n

To feel the wind on my face.
\nTo hear the bustling world below.
\nTo see the colors and sights.
\nTo smell the air. <\/p>\n

To be free of this basement.
\nTo be free of my bonds and responsibilities. <\/p>\n

To fly free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
