Pursuit of Bliss

New Orleans open form place return

Joy hunted on foot, not bought.

Bliss in New Orleans is not a destination. It catches you — saxophone humidity, Creole bite, Mardi Gras color arriving before you named the want.

Pursuit is walking attentive. State of being is earned in small receipts: breath synced to brass, appetite answered honestly, moment not posted.

Symphony is declined. Saxophone hum is enough.

The hum finds you on the next block.
