I found myself sitting in the sun, feet dangling over a concrete wall with no one around. Long overdue emotions erupted in the form of a vulnerability the likes of which I have not known for a long time. I was swept back to a time when I was 5 or 6 years old. I was wearing a green, collared shirt and it was picture day for kindergarten. Amazing that I was at one time that little man. I feel like that must have been a different life, or a different world. That person was vulnerable too. He had not yet built up the walls. That version of me was innocent. There in the sun I saw that person within me - vulnerable and innocent - a child lost in a world that he does not fully understand, and yet he still gets his picture taken none the less.
