Viewpoint
Downtown in the last century was characterized as an industry hub. Since the pandemic, remote work has isolated people.
New lure for cities are the central social districts. Restaurants, coffee shops, and coworking spaces add robust connectivity to a city’s economy.

I had a dream, crazy dream:
Anything I wanted to know, any place I needed to go.
California sunlight, sweet Calcutta rain.

Absurdism is profoundly human. Camus says it urges us to revolt against meaninglessness by creating our own values. Choosing presence in a harsh universe affirms that optimistic defiance. The cosmos may be indifferent, yet our capacity for wonder makes staying worthwhile.

A man walks upright. For him it is strenuous to climb a steep hill, because he has to keep pushing his own vertical mass upward and cannot gain any momentum.
The rabbit is better off. His forelegs support his horizontal body and the great back legs do the work. They are more than equal to thrusting uphill the light mass in front of them.
Rabbits can go fast uphill. In fact, they have so much power behind that they find going downhill awkward, and sometimes, in flight down a steep place, they may actually go head over heels.

Abstraction indicates a departure from reality, existing along a continuum.
Total abstraction bears no trace of any reference to anything recognizable.
Figurative art and total abstraction are almost mutually exclusive. But figurative and realistic art often contain partial abstraction.

A photograph can show a physical image in which time is static, and a mirror can show a physical image in which time is dynamic.
What he saw on the mountain was another kind of image altogether which was not physical and did not exist in time at all. It was an image nevertheless, and that is why he felt recognition.
