The city is crowded
My friends are away
And I’m on my own
It’s too hot to handle
So I got to get up and go.

Sometimes the rare, the beautiful, can only emerge or survive in isolation. In a similar manner, some degree of withdrawal serves to nurture man’s creative powers. The artist and the scientist bring out of the dark void, like the mysterious universe itself, the unique, the strange, the unexpected. – Loren Eiseley from The Night Country
When I shifted my focus from the water to the shore, I beheld many acts of creation.
