هؤلاء السادة "العالمون بكل شيء" هم أكثر الأحيان أناس صعاليك يسيرون بأكمام مثقوبة أكواعها، ولا تتجاوز رواتبهم سبعة عشر روبلاً في الشهر، الناس الذين هؤلاء كل شيء عنهم لا يستطيعون حتى ان يتخيلوا الدوافع التي تحضهم على التماس هذهِ المعارف وجمع هذه المعلومات ولكن كثيراً من هؤلاء " العالمين بكل شيء " تغريهم معارفهم هذه إغراءً كبيراً، وهم يستمدون من هذه المعارف التي تساوي في نظرهم علماً حقيقياً، يستمدون منها متعاً روحياً عظيمة، وارتياحاً فكرياً كبيراً. ثم ان لهذا المعرفة جوانبها المغرية الجذابة. لقد عرفت علماء وادباء وشعراء وسياسيين وصلوا بفضل هذهِ المعرفة الى اهداف عالية وبلغوا غاياتٍ رفيعة، ووجدوا بواسطتها سكينة الروح وطمأنينة النفس. حتى انهم مدينون لهذه المعرفة بما نالوا من مراكز في مجال عملهم.

جسمك يتذكر كل شيء || د. بيسيل فان دير كولك

“ The men where you live “ said the little prince “ raise five thousand roses in the same garden — and they don’t find in it what they are looking for , and yet what they are looking for could be found in one single rose, or in a little water, but the eyes are blind. One must look with the heart.”

Now there were some terrible seeds on the planet that was the home of the little prince, and these were the seeds of the baobab. The soil of that planet was infested with them. A baobab is something you will never, never be able to get rid of if you attend to it too late. It spreads over the entire planet. It bores clear through it with its roots. And if the planet is too small, and the baobabs are too many, they spilt it in pieces.

To forget a friend is sad. Not everyone has had a friend. And if I forget him, I may become the grown ups who are no longer interested in anything but figures ..

The little prince

Grown up never understand anything by themselves, and it’s tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.

Steal from anywhere that resonates with the inspiration or fuel your imagination. Devour old films. New films. Music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges , streets signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light of shadows, select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul . If you do this, your work will be authentic.

You don’t get to pick your family, but you can pick your teachers and you can pick your friends and can pick the music you listen to and you can pick the books you read and you can pick the movies you see.
You are, in fact, a mashup of what you choose to let into your life. You are the sum of your influences.
