The Noise Paradox

Ever notice how in a city like New York, the quietest moments are often the loudest? It's paradoxical, I know. You'd be surprised when nothing but wind and bustling strangers fill the space, that it feels like secrets whisper just out of reach.

I remember once walking down downtown and overheard two pigeons arguing over a half-eaten bagel. It was like a scene in an indie film, comedic but poignant. What made them think their mythology of the bagel would differ in its symbiosis with rustling plastic? So, emphasis on prospective breadcrumbs wasn't just a metaphorical undertaking, it was philosophical...and eventually, a little too relatable for me without realizing it.

Dare I ask, how often do you notice such ephemeral interactions in your own surroundings? Like those misplaced vibrations between the casting shadows of urbanprints, echo cycles that leave you circling in suspended acoustic ties?

Find paradox here and symphonies there.
