This is our own natural wonder. If you sit over the right side, you can exhale cars out of you. If you sit on the left side, you can absorb their power into you. Jacob Barton and I spent a wonderful couple of weeks where we’d get up at 5 and bring breakfast to the bridge. O discipline! I would also practice trumpet there, and sing, because you can scream into the canyon and nobody will hear you.
It is possible to discover that Houston is beautiful. But I have only found one point of entry for that discovery: the highways. Once you realize that the highways’ folds and arabseques — heavy and light at the same time, like Chartres — are astonishingly beautiful, then you can tackle Houston itself.
