The City as sacred... In the very heart of the crowded,
noisy and often alienating city, see an oasis. Millions
live side by side, yet often remaining total strangers. In the
almost ceaseless noise and traffic, technological
miracles, crime, poverty, beleagured homeless, alienation,
indifference, disrespect, see an oasis, and daily celebrate.

Seek out the sacredness of the city and the urban landscape...
In the very midst of the crime, dire poverty, the millions jammed together as strangers, seek out the sacred and the beautiful in the face of the city.
