THE LIGHT STANDS OUT IN THE DARKNESS. The stars shine, the fire light flickers, the solar lights glimmer; this mobile phone stuns and shocks my sensibilities as does the near by mine at Agnew with it's persistant hum. Night crickets sing songs to each other but the busy noise from five kilometres away echoes the light of this phone, casting out the magic; dampening the sensitivity that living out in the desert has carved in me. We become desensitized by our modern amenities and appliances. Nature allows us to recalibrate, to become sensitive again. Like a new born baby I hear and see the sounds and sights of these technologies. THEY ARE SO LOUD.
