Too many hours in front of square flickering boxes.  Cacophony of  lights, uncomfortable chairs, strained eye balls, and bent vertebrae. When I lay on my back and look up at the sky I see cells screaming; dancing dots on the icing of my iris.  Mad at small screens and happy about the long view.  Rarely do we see the long view in landscapes anymore. Jensen wrote about them and Repton remodeled them but they are a contemporary rarity. Can one design the long view in a time of short attentions? Does the long view exist in projects anymore? I want to taste the opportunity; to draw the long view and watch it 75 years later. Tall trees and me beside them; happy at 105.
