What an invention the wheel! It let’s us exponentially
increase our carrying capacity and makes it easy to transport things by
changing a constant drag force to single point drag force. Following this
invention came industrialization, and the media controlled propaganda to
accommodate industrialization and some careless destruction of our Mother Earth
was done. As a way to organize ourselves and all the production that came with
this boom, the information and technology era arouse. Now technology, and
specially the internet are letting us reconnect with ourselves again and
freedom of speech is stronger than ever. People are being able to transmit
their most inner truths and spread love and care and evolve to be able to
survive this apocalypsis. Beware there is also misleading information.
After this little melancomedy, I come to the re-invention of
the wheel, more specifically, the bicycle! Humanly propelled it uses air and
food as its fuels and through and internal digestion and mental controls we are
able to make the bicycle run efficiently with no GHG (Green House Gas)
emissions (well, yes, technically we are producing GHG emissions, some from the
use of Oxygen that then turns into CO2 by our lungs and every once in a while
some Methane, depending on what foods we ingested jeje). Keeping our human
temple fit we make the bicycle run.
Now, who uses bicycles now a days? I am thinking kids,
people living in small communities, people that cannot afford cars, pedi
cabbers, bi-cyclists and the list can go on! Hurray! The bicycle is still
amongst us!
The car has made it a little harder for the bicycle to
strive in our western community. Based on the car we have developed spread out
communities where the human interaction (interactions human to human and human
to Earth) is very little in the commute times, where bicycles and humans are
having trouble surviving and where fauna and flora is being eradicated and even
extinct by the development of highways and roads necessary for the use of the
car. Questions arise in me: “Why
are people starving, why are we running out of food? Are we misusing our
precious Mother Earth the provider of everything?” Even though the Earth has
the potential for Abundance to maintain the balance of all living creatures we
have derailed from or existence path (or maybe this way is the only way we
could have gone to eventually SEE), and NOW we are here NOW, not using the
Earth’s potential for Abundance and living with suffering in this beautiful
Earth.
I have found a way to re-invent the wheel in my lifestyle. I
try to use the bicycle as my common transportation (sometimes I use the skate
and sometimes I use the car to make things easy and convenient for myself). But
now I also found a trailer that I can hook up to my car. Now my bicycle is not
just only a means to transport myself. I can transport myself, someone else, my
groceries, fun things from the side of the road and even my dog Lupe when we go
for long bike rides.
Re-invent the wheel in your daily lifestyle. Eventually we
will have communities planned for the bicycles to ride easily and freely.
Riding my bicycle, especially with the trailer, makes me feel great! I leave you with a little clip.
