Growing up in the green hills of Montana, I never imagined I would one day live in New York City or raise a family here. Anyone living in a city can appreciate how it sometimes seems lik…e the concrete and brick are turning us into stone – we risk becoming harder, invulnerable, closed off. Yet even when it’s just a taste, a quick stolen moment, the antidote to my unsettled soul has always been nature. …

I was walking home from Trader Joe’s a couple of days ago, my handbag swung across my torso rhythmically tapping my hip with each step, as my hands gripped around a paper bag full of gro…ceries. Whilst jotting across the street as the walk signal flashed a red hand before me, I peeked over the bag of popcorn obstructing my view of the sidewalk ahead of me, and with the bustling sounds of the city refracted off my eardrums, I felt quiet.
