“Skyscraper National Park”. I think you’ve got something there.
The only problem is if the National Park Service designation actually happens, there will be agitation to bring back the native fauna. Bears, deer, and beaver wouldn’t do well on Broadway.
Most of these essays, you speak of music. You speak in verse, and this 'cheerful' persona is the one history will remember. Now, it's April and I want a risqué' limerick
You describe one of those moments that should remind us how blessed we really are. I would add one more observation. The more we talk to each other, each and every day, the healthier and happier we become. Even in a city teeming with millions of people, the isolation fostered by digital technology has caused many to turn dark in their outlook. That walk in the park is the perfect antidote.
Dear Sage, your thoughts were up lifting. We truly miss God and the desire, no more than the desire, the need and requirement to know and follow him. We are lost.
I am privileged to have seen Ahmad Jamal a half dozen times in my life. Unlike so many performers, the guy was approachable and was as sweet as his music.
You could, but sould not, be an ambassador for New York, you might look peculiar in formal attire and should therefore resist their feeble pleas to accept the job. Continue to enjoy the parade as "The sun pulls away from the shore, and our boat sinks slowly in the West" (Spike Jones, Ca 1943)
"...we needed to exercise good manners and engage in amiable small talk, and these daily details turn out to be as important as overarching ideology." Well said. Try swapping 'technology' for ideology. The sentence works just as well.

Thank you for tweaking my imagination!
Love thy neighbour is a counter to most of the world's ills, if only we could all manage it, but a big reach....

How can a God create the man who smashed a policewoman in back of head with a bottle?
I am envious of a niece who lives in Manhattan…..she just might glimpse the two of you on your stroll.😊😊
"Frisbee players playing pickle in the middle ..."
Is that a euphemism for something?
