This is the Old State House in Boston. We will begin our walk here today! It is at the cross section of Washington and State Streets. How appropriately named or probably renamed. It was built in 1713 which I have a hard time wrapping my head around. In terms of buildings in American history, it is one of the oldest surviving public buildings in the United States. It was the seat of the Massachusetts General Court for 85 years, until 1798. It is now a history museum.
This is the front of the building. The balcony shown is where the Declaration of Independence was read for the first time. This caused a riot and the Lion and the Unicorn at the top of the building was ripped down and burnt. When it was refurbished in 1883, it was put back and to this day, every July 4th at 10 am, the Declaration of Independence is read from that very balcony.

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.

i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
