one thing i have come to realize about nyc is that it is a city of doing. people are so incredibly active here - the pace of life doesn't let you stop and reflect or process. and sometimes you just really need a break. a pause. an escape. a scratch. a freeze. ...but then when you do come out of your "hibernation," it feels as if you have missed the train. it is a real challenge to be comfortable where you are. whether you feel its competition or ambition or obligation or even just curiosity to accomplish the things you deem important, it can be so stressful...i see it as a current of energy that we all ride on here. but it is so important to stop along the way and recognize whose energy is carrying you...your own? or someone else's? or a collective energy that really could be positive, but isn't because it is collective and misguided and not directed?

Tell me and I forget.
Show me and I remember.
Involve me and I understand.
