new york

just got back from a road trip to new york.

surreal experiences:

walking in new york city. busy-ness abounds. how do people not run into each other when they aren't making eye contact. feeling like i'm in a live web.

a conversation with a wise elder in a beautiful building in the middle of brooklyn. craziness in the building and yet this moment stands alone. it pauses within. talking about zooming out 36,000 feet, to reflect on what's important, what will last, what will make a difference. is that not mathematical thinking.. at its best...?
