One Step at a Time #6

-




If you happen to be a classic horror movie fan, you might recognize these steps from The Exorcist. Last summer my family and I went to Maryland to visit my cousin for a cookout. On the way home from the trip, we stopped in Georgetown to see these iconic stairs. If for some reason you've never seen this film, I won't spoil anything for you. My mother has always loved horror so I fell into the genre at a young age. This is one of her favorite movies and having seen it a few times because of her, I didn't mind the stop at all. My little sister didn't quite "get it", claiming that they were just stairs, but she's not quite as amused by scary things as we are. There's something about descending steeps steps you've seen multiple times, thinking about the scene in the movie, with the person who introduced it to you years ago. It was a fun experience. I hope we end up at other peculiar places this summer.

All of my blog identity posts up to this point have featured steps in places I have been. For my final post in this series, I wanted to show steps that I would like to one day visit. These are what the stairs look like inside the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The marble has been warped by visitors climbing the steps for hundreds of years. It's fascinating that if you repeat one footstep enough times, you can move stone. All things take work and time. Hopefully with my own hard work and time I will get to climb these steps as well as other steps around the world.

  While I spent this whole semester at Temple, I hadn't gone back to visit my old campus. There hadn't been a need for it, but I thought about the steps around Saint Joseph's University. I wanted to use them for one of my blog posts because, though I am not there anymore, it is still part of my identity. I'm still adjusting to being back in school, and so far I love being a Tyler student. Despite the years that have passed, though, revising SJU after walking these steps for a year and a half, it's weird, but in a way, I found it still feels like home.
