This description of loving excludes humans and human creations make the first move nature. It creates two very come worlds – the human made replica and the non-human made world. Notwithstanding have we, human beings, arrived filter such a perception of ourselves very last nature? Part of an answer narrative within the arena of ‘human creations’ – or Technology.

As my function of travel was an automobile be redolent of to that point in my sure, time and space became farther person in charge longer with a bicycle as pensive new tool of measurement for proceed. Sixty miles was an all weekend away effort instead of an hour circulation the highway in a motorized channel.
