In the walkable city, people gather in a piazza, square, or plaza.
In the automobile city, it’s called an intersection.

I was too busy working on the house this week to curate a list of Twitterable links so it’s time for a Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan break. Kelly and I were lucky to have seen him in concert back in the 1990s. Here he is at the 1992 WOMAD festival in Yokohama performing “Mustt Mustt.” It’s difficult to translate the lyrics of this Qawwali, but in essence it’s about a state of divine intoxication reminiscent of the Song of Solomon. It was also part of the soundtrack that kept me going through long sessions of hardwood floor nailing in the midst of a very hot August. Those floors are now finished, sanded (by a professional crew) and in use.

Their questions were great. One stood out: how is it that there is no support, within their school, for learning how to represent climate change in their films? How to bridge that gaping interdisciplinary chasm? Methinks there needs to be a book like "Climate Change for Artists." https://t.co/xL8j4etD43
