The buildings that towered over my head just minutes ago shrink down to the likes of building blocks on a play mat. Cars speeding by on the roads are suddenly ants unrelentingly scaling distances a thousand
times their own size. Green dots sprinkled generously across the expanse hints at our world’s life-giving lushness.”
