"What is the essential difference between the world of nature and the world of man?"
"[Nature's] aesthetic forms somehow appeal more to me than the forms that man has created."
What about the case of the Highlands? Is manicured nature some combination of both elements? Does human engineering in the form of gardening and organization enhance the aesthetic beauty that Watts mentions? Or do human attempts to engineer nature simply obscure natural beauty?

What is Permalean?
welcome
Time. Space. Distortions and threads, stretching from one origin to multiple endpoints. Where is history? Who is time? How did we find society? These are some of the questions this blog will explore. Posted items are singular but ultimately interwoven pieces of the larger, multidimensional jigsaw puzzle that these questions present.
The idea of "lean," as I see it, is this. Lean is an verb. Anything can lean. You or I may find ourselves "leaned," from time to time.
That stop sign on your morning walk may someday strike you in a particular way - does it seem to lean?
Lean is both affiliated with and disassociated from the idea of some geometric distance from 0 degrees. Being physically leaned over to one side is not a prerequisite to experience leaning in the sense that i use it. Items such as the sign may not be physically leaned, but believe me, that stop sign at Latin Way, on particular times in the morning, in a particular light, I do find it to lean quite hard.
