This afternoon I thought I'd show you The City of Lights from a new perspective, thirty feet up and eye level with the treetops. Stretching 4.5 km from Bastille to the Bois de Vincennes, the Coulée Verte is a hidden garden high in the sky, perched on an abandoned elevated railway. Under the grey skies and gentle raindrops, we're going to enjoy a little afternoon break amongst the trees, enveloped by lush greenery, waving towers of bamboo, and coral roses climbing trellises. And if you're lucky, you might even catch the heavenly scent of lavender lingering in the air.The Coulée Verte, also known as the Promenade Plantée, is one of my favorite spots in Paris when I'm itching for an escape from the screeching and honking cars dominating the city below.

Declaration of the Independence of the Mind: An Extraordinary 1919 Manifesto Signed by Albert Einstein, Bertrand Russell, Jane Addams, and Other Luminaries Decades before Martin Luther King, Jr. made his timeless case for the ancient Greek notion of agape as a centerpiece of nonviolence, another luminous mind and soaring spirit challenged humanity to pause amid one of the most violent periods in history and consider an alternative path. The declaration was published in the socialist newspaper L’Humanité on June 26, 1919, and was later included in the out-of-print treasure Hermann Hesse & Romain Rolland: Correspondence, Diary Entries and Reflections (public library) — Rolland enclosed the text in an April 1919 letter to Hesse, asking the beloved German writer to be among the signatories. “I want to express at once at least my unreserved approval of your admirable [declaration],” Hesse wrote in reply. “Please add my name to it as well.” Rolland writes: May this experience be a lesson to us, at least for the future!

Artist 'domesticates' plant roots into intricate geometric forms Our perception of plants probably paints them as passive, slow-growing green things that aren't particularly intelligent -- at least, not like us humans. But recent research is showing how arrogantly anthrocentric that view may be, revealing that plants do indeed sense, learn, remember and react much like how a human might. Scientists aren't the only ones having fun with this new research into what is now informally being called plant neurobiology (though this is a bit of a misnomer, as plants do not have neurons per se). In a series of grown artworks called Interwoven, Amsterdam-based German artist Diana Scherer explores how the sensitive roots of plants -- sometimes likened to the 'brains' of a plant -- can be molded and shaped into intricate, man-made forms. © Diana Scherer © Diana Scherer
