The Colosseum
There is a ring of stone in the middle of Rome that has outlasted almost everything around it. Tonight it stands in the dark, half of its outer wall gone, and the other half still holding. Traffic moves around it in a slow circle, and the great arches keep their own quiet.

Tender and reassuring, steady when things aren't, present and calm without ever overpromising.
