As the new year drapes its hope and exhaust across the city, tall buildings recede, concrete and glass withdrawing behind a smudged-out sky. Iced sidewalks stage angled commuters, heads down, protecting their exposed features from hungry shards of wind. Idle engines rattle through hollowed-out parking lots; puffs of slow-rising gasoline carry that familiar, earth-toned scent; the clamor of metal overtakes a damped chorus of human voices.
In such moments, do you see loneliness or solitude? Peace or isolation?
How does one define the difference?
In this episode, we will explore these questions, and attempt to create paths of meaning from the insights they reveal.
