I froze still and stood absorbing the hum, swaying to it, silently humming with it and letting my feelings drift. Returning to the entrance was swimming through air thick with a sacred hum. I walked through huge double doors and returned to the city streets. Sounds are loud here, like the cathedral's hum, but here it is noise. Signs and structures shout their presence with bold colors.
People run past.
Cars zip by. Motion is everywhere, every person and every movement has purpose. But I view from a distance and the sum is chaos. Sounds and noises, chaos and crowd. Flashes of colors, reflections of light.
