My weekend jaunt to Sin City proved to be an unexpected barometer of the transformation I'm experiencing. I used to like Vegas -- the lure of the blackjack tables, the parade of people dressed in unexpected, and often inappropriate attire, the high end restaurants, the over the top decor, the luxurious spas, but something has changed. That something is me. I seek quieter escapes these days, simpler interior design, easier access to nature, fewer distractions. And yet, I was able to find beauty in the details -- the reflection in a mirrored elevator bank, the glow of a crystal chandelier, the textured wallpaper. Changing my perspective allowed me to connect to my surroundings in a surprising way. I was able to find joy. Leaving the casino with $175 didn't hurt either. The picture was taken at the Encore Casino in Las Vegas.
We shift, we change .... what wonder life holds.
ReplyDeleteI only went to Vegas once, on assignment. The first 24 hours I was there it seemed enthralling. The next day I couldn't wait to escape to Red Rocks and humanity. It definitely can serve as a Rorschach.
