“Most animals show themselves sparingly. The grizzly bear is six to eight hundred pounds of smugness. It has no need to hide. If it were a person, it would laugh loudly in quiet restaurants, boastfully wear the wrong clothes for special occasions, and probably play hockey.” IfsNeedsPersonsPlayShowsAnimalLaughingSpecialBearsQuietSixClothesHundredEightOccasionsRestaurantsPoundsHockeySpecial OccasionSmugnessGrizzliesGrizzly Bears Book:Crossing Paths: Uncommon Encounters with Animals in the Wild Source: Crossing Paths: Uncommon Encounters with Animals in the Wild
“On numerous visits to Manhattan, I have found myself poking around the city trying to find a moment of quiet and once located a hint of it in Central Park during a windless, late-night snowfall. There I stood absolutely still in the lemon glow of the city, a sky full of snow. The city still roared from all sides, a thousand noises compressed down to just one. I counted that distant, mild roar as quiet, a welcome relief from the more pressing noises of the daytime city.” TryingStillsMomentsNightFoundSidesCitiesSilenceSkyThousandQuietLateSnowNoiseWelcomeParksJust OneReliefHintsManhattanLemonsDaytimeLate NightCentral ParkSnowfall Author:Craig Childs
