it's easy to get caught up in the rush when you're submersed in it. Yeah, but it is also like you feed of the energy that surrounds you. Despite how much I hate commuting into the city, there is an incredible energy there. It must be the same energy the ant colonies have. Or that at the bottom of the pond or floor of the forest. Walking around the city, there is such fluid movement and sort of a symbiosis of sorts. One business feeding off another. Service companies getting serviced by others. Factories producing cells that society builds with. Are skyscrapers actually flowers or trees created by what is naturally surrounding itself and what is needed in human nature. A city might be a forest of different sorts. It uses different building blocks but just as natural as an anthill, a beehive, or a birds nest. Corporations and people competing with each other much the same as the tall Birch tree is competing with the Spruce and Oak for sunlight in the dense forest. Pollution is an ugly byproduct but I suppose is somehow part of the cycle of nature on a grander scale. I dunno. Civilizations over periods of history have risen and fallen much the same as species in the microcosms here and there. Just on a different time scale. But it all works in some sort of cycle. I'm just glad I can observe and appreciate them at times and stop myself from racing. The ants and bees and birds can't. Or maybe they can, too. -Clapper
