A <\/span>few <\/span>decades <\/span>ago, <\/span>a <\/span>new <\/span>species <\/span>appeared <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>urban <\/span>environment. <\/span>Their <\/span>emergence <\/span>is <\/span>familiar <\/span>to <\/span>everyone: <\/span>they <\/span>are <\/span>usually <\/span>born <\/span>near <\/span>busy <\/span>consumer <\/span>centers, <\/span>and <\/span>once <\/span>released, <\/span>coming <\/span>to <\/span>life <\/span>on <\/span>their <\/span>own, <\/span>their <\/span>own <\/span>stories <\/span>begin. <\/span>Some <\/span>remain <\/span>close <\/span>to <\/span>their <\/span>birthplace, <\/span>while <\/span>others <\/span>set <\/span>out <\/span>on <\/span>long, <\/span>adventurous <\/span>journeys <\/span>or <\/span>enter <\/span>the <\/span>service <\/span>of <\/span>humans. <\/span>By <\/span>this <\/span>point, <\/span>each <\/span>individual <\/span>already <\/span>possesses <\/span>its <\/span>own <\/span>personality. <\/span>These <\/span>light, <\/span>almost <\/span>bodiless <\/span>creatures <\/span>begin <\/span>to <\/span>live <\/span>as <\/span>independent <\/span>souls.<\/span><\/p>\n Their <\/span>movement <\/span>lacks <\/span>any <\/span>kind <\/span>of <\/span>regularity <\/span>or <\/span>repetition, <\/span>and <\/span>therefore <\/span>shows <\/span>characteristics <\/span>similar <\/span>to <\/span>those <\/span>of <\/span>living <\/span>organisms. <\/span>Studying <\/span>them <\/span>is <\/span>a <\/span>joyful <\/span>task; <\/span>observing <\/span>them <\/span>reveals <\/span>a <\/span>varied <\/span>choreography. <\/span>In <\/span>their <\/span>soaring <\/span>dance, <\/span>it <\/span>is <\/span>easy <\/span>to <\/span>recognize <\/span>the <\/span>metaphor <\/span>of <\/span>freedom.<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>souls <\/span>hover <\/span>on <\/span>the <\/span>boundary <\/span>between <\/span>existence <\/span>and <\/span>vision. <\/span>Their <\/span>nature <\/span>is <\/span>defined <\/span>by <\/span>immateriality <\/span>and <\/span>an <\/span>intangible <\/span>lightness, <\/span>brought <\/span>to <\/span>life <\/span>by <\/span>the <\/span>wind. <\/span>The <\/span>wind <\/span>itself <\/span>is <\/span>never <\/span>visible; <\/span>we <\/span>perceive <\/span>only <\/span>its <\/span>effects: <\/span>the <\/span>rustling <\/span>of <\/span>leaves <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>trees, <\/span>the <\/span>breeze <\/span>caressing <\/span>our <\/span>face, <\/span>the <\/span>rippling <\/span>surface <\/span>of <\/span>water, <\/span>tangled <\/span>hair, <\/span>a <\/span>fluttering <\/span>skirt, <\/span>and <\/span>so <\/span>on.<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>Ploubuter <\/span>Park <\/span>serves <\/span>the <\/span>study <\/span>of <\/span>this <\/span>newly <\/span>discovered <\/span>species. <\/span>Its <\/span>design <\/span>is <\/span>based <\/span>on <\/span>observing <\/span>the <\/span>individuals <\/span>in <\/span>their <\/span>natural <\/span>environment. <\/span>Classified <\/span>according <\/span>to <\/span>their <\/span>place <\/span>of <\/span>origin <\/span>and <\/span>their <\/span>relationship <\/span>to <\/span>humans, <\/span>the <\/span>specimens <\/span>present <\/span>a <\/span>highly <\/span>diverse <\/span>picture\u2014<\/span>from <\/span>those <\/span>living <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>wild <\/span>to <\/span>captured <\/span>or <\/span>domesticated <\/span>versions; <\/span>from <\/span>solitary <\/span>individuals <\/span>to <\/span>those <\/span>living <\/span>in <\/span>groups; <\/span>from <\/span>wild <\/span>specimens <\/span>
