city as canvas

"take a big step back - or up, rather - and there it is: terra firma, home, all she wrote. an unbelievably wonderfully ground that we affect daily in so many ways, unthinking. is absentmindedly picking the leaf less significant than building the bridge? the man in the felt suit, the person walking home with honey and fat, even the person selling pencils on the corner: everyone and more, influence this ongoing creation, sometimes imperceptibly, sometimes too noticeably. is there some plan, some communal direction, or is there not? regardless, this is the canvas of our lives."
