The gallery felt vast. The air was cool and crisp. Her photographs – a collection of street scenes – were on display. She had no idea how it happened, but seeing them enlarged, framed, and lit, was breathtaking. Her annoyance melted away.

She remembered the feeling of holding the camera, framing the perfect shot. The warmth she felt when she'd found the perfect angle. She loved the world. The people. The light. A group of people stood around, pointing and talking.

She smiled. The feeling was so intense, she felt as if she might float away. Her chest was full. She wanted to share. She felt a profound connection to everyone in the room. And she was overwhelmed by a sense of joy.
