Sounds floating above the fray at Grand Central are nature's sounds, a jungle's sounds.

The steady low-pitch beat emanating below the ground floor flowing throughout open space. Ambient hum gently permeates the air while periodic distant screams and calls of primate-travelers greet each other. Listen to hear the rain and wind blowing through the leaves.

cities are natural ... we are animals

So I know this friend of a friend who studied architecture. We got into this fascinating discussion once about whether cities are "natural" habitats for humans. I've thought about this a lot since then. And, I think I'm convinced that buildings are our nests, our burrows, and dens. Like ants, we have built a vast, interconnecting habitat that suits us as social critters. Turns out, cities are also more "green" than I ever imagined because they use space more efficiently, leaving what we call "natural areas," open space, untended and more pristine. I find it fascinating that a submission of 2 minutes of ambient noise could provoke so many thoughts. Nice submission, creative and unique. Quietly insightful, and slightly subversive.

Not exactly hosty... not not in the least.

It falls to the enlightened, and the intelligent and the sane to take responsibility for the deluded or doltish or insane.
