Yesterday I saw a plant in the corner of the park where I was constantly walking. The plant was much taller than my height, enough to touch the sky. Its body stood like a straight pole, it was thin. It had light green leaves. It was the most beautiful green I have ever seen, it was shining. Around, it was trees whose leaves looked like the leaves of the tree I had seen, but they were smaller. The tree I noticed stood in the middle, like the leader of all of them, and was self-evident. It was the most delicate and powerful plant I have ever seen in my life.

Both cities are rich in world and national history, though they developed on very different time lines. London, for example, has a history that dates back over two thousand years. It was part of the Roman Empire and known by the similar name, Londinium. It was not only one of the northernmost points of the Roman Empire but also the epicenter of the British Empire where it held significant global influence from the early sixteenth century on through the early twentieth century. Washington, DC, on the other hand, has only formally existed since the late eighteenth century. Though Native Americans inhabited the land several thousand years earlier, and settlers inhabited the land as early as the sixteenth century, the city did not become the capital of the United States until the 1790s. From that point onward to today, however, Washington, DC, has increasingly maintained significant global influence. Even though both cities have different histories, they have both held, and continue to hold, significant social influence in the economic and cultural global spheres.
