Dying to Go Out

Envision shapes that include, rectangles, squares and circles. Now, envision them coming all together in a tight square. Feel the heat of Morocco, dry and strong. Sense you are on a corner of a busy city street. Sound is coming from all directions, people are rushing by you, talking, laughing, screams of sirens. You might feel a little tense or excited. This vision of your street corner is placed on a soft pink background,a gentle arm around your shoulder.
