Touring the Museum

FreeImages.com/Stéphane Vandenwyngaert

Start at the top and make your way
down. Don’t hurry around
checking off boxes; don’t stop
to study every single piece —

glide through the galleries
at your leisure; breathe it all in.
If something grabs you, go in

for a closer look. Stay in that spot
as long as you like — let all the day’s vapors

condense to a single drop.
