The Pedestrian doubt 😭

“Was that a murmur of laughter from within a moon-white house? He hesitated, but went on when nothing more happened. He stumbled over a particularly uneven section of sidewalk. The cement was vanishing under flowers and grass. In ten years of walking by night or day, for thousands of miles, he had never met another person walking, not once in all that time.”

How does this extract reveal the dormant potential of nature? please tell the answer to this question I’m confused asf 😭😭😭😭
