“The pulse of the natural world can feel similar to the pace of a city. Both are active. Progressive. Undeterred by setbacks.

The tempo of big-city life is relentless, like strong vines that claw their way around windows, fences, and bricks. Urban living isn’t usually designed to keep us linked to nature, but I was drawn to discover parallels between these two contrasting forces.”
