Rochester's Bells

On top of the university's library there is a bell tower filled with magnificent bells that entice the ears of each passerby. The bells ring every fifteen minutes in order to let each student and faculty member know whether they are late or not. The ring of the bells are the trademark melody of the university and without them the University of Rochester would lose part of its identity. Every Monday evening during the summer, the university brings in professional bell ringers from around the world (They actually do exist!!!). At 7p.m. each Monday the professional bell ringers hold a concert and the school becomes engulfed by beautiful music coming from the heavens. Yesterday, after dinner I took my blanket, went to the Eastman Quad (the large green area where the library is located), laid upon the grass and heard the concert. I could feel the breeze carress my hair and the tickling grass underneath the part of my feet that weren't able to be protected by the blanket. As the wind embraced me and kept me warm, for a quick second I thought it was you. The sun was mid-low and there was a gorgeous glow of purples, pinks, reds, and oranges in the sky. I felt at peace for the first time in weeks. Being there, without any worries, without any thoughts of work and people, I could be alone with myself. I didn't think of anything that would disturb my privacy with the bells. It was a perfect evening to a not so perfect day.
