The sun on the face may keep out the shadows, but the wind, it gives much more. It reminds us that we are alive. And it was the wind, this reminder of life, that was first to greet Robert on Sunday morning when he stepped from his hotel and walked through the plaza near the old church, down the steep streets of cobblestone, and beyond the balconies above where pots of red geraniums sat against the black iron railings. It was a light wind, but enough to be the quiet morning’s singular sound. The breeze met him at the street corner. There was a delicate rush between the old apartment buildings, and a moderate gust as he stepped into the plaza in front of the cathedral. It was impossible to tell from which direction the wind was coming, he only knew he could not avoid it. The wind would not leave him alone.
