THE UNCHANGING PRESENCE

YEARS HAVE PASSED, AND STILL IT HOLDS YOU. YOU’VE COME HERE IN MOMENTS OF JOY AND GRIEF, IN THE QUIET STRETCHES OF ORDINARY DAYS. THE BUILDING HASN’T CHANGED, THOUGH EVERYTHING ELSE HAS. ITS PERMANENCE OFFERS A QUIET COMFORT, A REMINDER THAT SOME THINGS ENDURE EVEN WHEN YOU CANNOT.

THE SQUARE BEFORE IT IS VAST, A STAGE FOR COUNTLESS LIVES AND STORIES, ALL PASSING, ALL FORGOTTEN. THE BUILDING HAS SEEN IT ALL AND STILL IT STANDS, UNSHAKEN BY TIME. PERHAPS THAT’S WHAT MOVES YOU - THAT IT IS BOTH WITNESS AND ANCHOR, BEAUTIFUL AND UNYIELDING. EVERY TIME YOU RETURN, YOU FEEL IT AGAIN, THAT QUIET AWE, AS IF THE WORLD HAS PAUSED JUST FOR YOU.
