Photo of the Day: The Glow of a Heart
“Love isn't something natural. Rather it requires
discipline, concentration, patience, faith, and the overcoming of narcissism.
It isn't a feeling, it is a practice.”—Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving (1956)
Starting this past weekend, Times Square has run a
promotion by architectural firm Bjarke Ingels Group: If you hold your hand over
a large button, a fluorescent “heart” within a 10-ft. crystalline cube begins to
glow. When several people put their hands over the button, the heart really glows.I took this shot on Friday, as clumps of
passersby began to gawk and/or line up for photo opportunities.
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
