The hand of the mind, the manus cogitans not only collects, but even what he has left standing crop, even the shake, remove it incessantly. As the hand whisk together the flour and water to make bread. O as it passes the shuttle that carries the plot forward and backward, to the frame, between the warp threads. As the hands that raise and lower the oars dipping in water and moving them back, up and down, inside and out. As the hand rhythmically raising the hammer on the anvil to bring it down. Thanks to the action of the hands of the body and hands of the mind, in all these processes, an inert material (flour, water, wire wool or linen, hot iron, heated thoughts, ideas, hot, bright intuitions) is modeled and used in active forms. Usually, Rosi Braidotti writes, "you think with your own hands."
