Interwoven Moments Of Entourage

The late day summer warmth made travel fairly smooth. Walking along the city street, I made quick observations about what I saw. Stores, restaraunts and offices lined the streets. A set of star crossed lovers found their moment in the isolated walk leading to an office. The tables outside of a restaraunt were filled with small groups of people. They talked with their attention caught in the interwoven moments of the late afternoon.

Almost breaking the calm of the afternoon, the sirens from the end of the city street were heard. The crowds on the sidewalks slowed to stopping. A procession of black cars began to drive slowly towards my direction. All attention was temporarily cast towards Vice President Cheney. The procession passed engaging all within it's scope. Everyone was lost in a moment of time.

The long walkway leading to the red brick building beckoned the morning visitors. Delegates from the colonies arrived early in the morning. Georgia was the only colony who did not send a delegate. The concerns of the delegates were grievances that were against the colonies.

It could have been the full moon that provided the inspiration and vision for the contributions that John Adams had during the fall of 1774. He attended the First Continental Congress. He must have held the attention of those who were enjoying the late summer days. He ventured off from the Continental Congress into the city of Philadelphia on his shopping spree. The acquistion of over 3,000 books was the vision of John Adams and the beginning of a city legacy.

While in Philadelphia, John Adams wrote a letter to Abigail Adams while attending the Continental Congress. "I have spent an estate on books" wrote John Adams. The contribution that John Adams made to the city of Boston, Massachusettes totals 3,700 volumes. He wrote within the pages of many of these. It has become the Library of Treasures.
