some of us look at the internet as the “final frontier” as a free, undeveloped space still ripe for exploring.. cyberspace may or may not offer some degree of freedom to those who can afford to use and explore it, but whatever it might offer, it offers on the condition that we check our bodies at the door: voluntary amputation.. remember, you are a body at least as much as a mind: is it freedom to sit, stationary, staring at glowing lights for hours, without using your senses of taste, touch, or smell? have you forgotten the sensations of wet grass or warm sand under bare feet, of eucalyptus tree or hickory smoke in your nostrils? do you remember the scent of tomato stems? the glint of candlelight, the thrill of running, swimming, touching?

today we can turn to the internet for excitement without feeling like we have been cheated because our modern lives are so constrained and predictable that we have forgotten how joyous action and motion in the real world can be.. why settle for the very limited freedom that cyberspace can provide, when there is so much more experience and sensation to be had out here in the real world? we should be running, punching, kicking, dancing, jumping, lifting weight, kopag (morning coffee), camping, biking, exploring new worlds — what new worlds? we must rediscover our bodies, our senses, the space around us, and then we can transform this space into a new world to which we can impart meanings of our own, as a human.
