Wuhua District
This was once a little village outside of Kunming.  It is now less than one mile from my modern apartment complex and is next to the newly built subway line.  Across the way is a cement factory which is churning out the liquid foundation for the new urban complex emerging all around this cultural backwater.  The living meat to the left will soon become the hanging meat to the right which will presumably be served to the locals dining inside the restaurant.  I can only imagine what they talk about.

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. 

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

We are a product of nature, albeit an infinitesimal one.  Nature includes quantum particles, black holes, and the expanding parts of the universe filled with dark energy.  Within the scope of space-time, patience is really the only option.
