On a trip to Tennessee, I was taken aback at the view from Bluff Mountain.  Atop the abandoned water tower lost in a jungle of cell phone and microwave communication towers, an eerie quiet fell upon upon the world interrupted only by the massive wind gusts–a strange reminder that above the bustling tourist trap USA, texting, twittering, and always-on internet connections, we’re just humans going our day-to-day business in the vastness that is Earth and the Universe…does what we do really matter?
