The green and brown heart often flowered with colour and brilliance once held green routes and always held runs and pathways and those routes brought more traffic to open up the forest and to field and stockade farm the valleys. Today the modern roads take us exactly where we wish with digital precision on our phones directing our feet and our vehicles. The roads take us on journeys over the land and through history opening up access to the modern and to the ancient and we have had more freedom of movement for every reason we have from trade and tourism to refuge to and escape from what the roads have brought into our lives. We had travel to broaden our perspective and flight to reach across the globe and technology to virtually bring our home and our individual life onto each of the screens all over the world sharing emotion and making fantastic new versions and aversions of living. Our routes to reach each other have stretched from nomadic paths and star guided voyages to much of the world being only a search away on any of our modern devices all connected via routes like roots that become popular and well traced as well as little utilised and left to dwindle. We have greater access to humanity than ever before and we take the routes we wish to connect us as we will. Our new virtual routes following our expressed emotions are filled with animal inspired pathways, we still search for tracks and traces following the paths of animals across an electronic terrain. Many human take time to view remote natural wonders and we have our intense interactive focus on food for the mind and the body and for the soul. Paths once through the natural green and brown and multicoloured heart of the land and now across globe spanning highways brought me here and now you too.
