perspectives

There are three ways to get to my workplace from my house: car, bicycle, and on foot. I try to alternate these three means to change the perspective. It is quite amazing how each means not only changes your physical relationship with the environment but also the psychological one as well. The bourgeoisie of the car makes a marked contrast with the workman's vehicle, the bicycle. This  simple device operated by man power gives you a feel of a vehicle, but in a sense, is the most restrictive of all three. On foot, the most vulnerable of all three, gives you the richest journey with most freedom. When you walk, you intimate the ground with every step. You engage with the environment through your whole body. You feel the weight of life you put on your self on the shoulders - what you put in the bag, what the thought process in doing so,  why you put so much in it (affect the energy consumption), etc. As you continue to walk, you develop and go through the whole process of 'lightening and grounding'. I can't wait to try this experiment on other pathways.
