I can hear some echoes of Calvino. I lived in Philly for some ten years and Houston before that. I came to interpret big cities as egregores. They have their own personalities and, as you point out, their own pace. Never a sum of buildings and people. The result is always greater than that.

I think of them as egregores, too. Egregores within egregores, even.
I noticed them too.
I’ve noticed a new kind of energy in your recent writings, and I am loving it. Good vibrations, as it were. Glad SF is thrumming with you.
It’s a tough city, but we’re starting to thrum. ;)
