Life On Two Wheels

Along the river and toward the mountains a morning shadow shimmers across the road. The rays of the first light jet through the trees and across a figure gliding upon the road. His breath trails in short spurts, petrified as it hits the icy air. All is quiet except the slight sound of the athlete as he summons himself for yet another days work. Soon the rest of the world will bustle with life as well and the brief simplicity of cyclist and nature will disappear into the everyday struggle of life in full motion; the errands and intervals, the appointments and intersections, and the deadlines and finish lines OutPaceTheRace

Have you ever pondered how infinitely large the universe could-be/is? Does it keep going, or does it just stop? Or is it a figment of our imagination? Human exploration hasn’t gone all that far, so to speak. We haven’t even journeyed into the deepest areas of the sea. If you think about it, we can’t make a robot that effectively walks on two legs or a bird that flies like a bird or a fish that swims like a fish… Wouldn’t you assume that the natural motion of nature would be the most efficient form of life, be it artificial or not…? I can’t help but wonder what’s in store for the world in 100 years. If technology has come so far in 100 years, what will the world look like in 500 years? I wonder what would be more interesting, going back 500 years or forward 500 years? I guess forward would be… unless, perhaps… we are overdue for a certain event…
