What can YOU say in six sentences?
Perspective
The view from this 19th floor window gives me such a beautiful vista over Telstra Dome, sorry Etihad Stadium now, out to Docklands and on down the Yarra River to the Westgate Bridge.
When it rains it feels as though I am caught up in Wordsworth’s cloud, wandering lost and lonely over buildings instead of hills, dimly making out the shapes of the surrounding towers through the soft white mist which surrounds me.
When the sun is setting, the River reflects the gorgeous pink and gold of the clouds and the boats coming back in cut dark swathes across the brassy waters. The gentle waves of the egg-carton roof over Southern Cross station turn a delicious rosy pink and the windows of the building down the street are made of a pure gold more radiant than daffodils.
Everything feels so far away when I look out this window, I’ve experienced sunsets so huge from the ground that I felt I could reach out and touch the sky, yet up here where you would expect it to feel closer it is so far away.
I have just one more day to enjoy this view and I want to spend the whole day storing it up for those dark moments when I need a little perspective.
