Life is a journey up a spiral staircase; as we grow older we cover the ground covered we have covered before, only higher up; as we look down the winding stair below us we measure our progress by the number of places where we were but no longer are. The journey is both repetitious and progressive; we go both round and upward. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀~William Butler Yeats. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #chicago #staircase #relishthisjourney #chicagoculturalcenter #ilovechi #chicagoshot #ig_ometry #chiarchitecture #igerschicago #chicago_community #likechicago #chitecture #from_your_perspective #creative_architecture #layers_hp #chiculturcenter #jj_lookingdown #jj_geometry #bnw_captures #jj_blackwhite #bnw_fanatics #blackandwhite_photographers #blacknwhite_perfection #pocket_bnw #bnw_life #tv_bnw #bnw_greatshots #gf_bnw #tv_pointofview #picturetokeep_bnw (at Chicago Cultural Center)
