This: the child, the mother and the father is the greatest event and, beyond all dispute, the greatest sense of life.
I dare write the following sentence which is, in it's meaning, before metaphsyics and
after metaphysics, but has nothing to do with Nietzche, nor much to do
with Plato or Pascal, but is supported in part by Edmund Husserl and to a
greater part by Martin Heidegger:
OUR CHILDREN ARE THE ESSENCE OF LIFE.
OUR CHILDREN ARE THE LIVING ESSENCE OF LIFE.

Escape the trap of destructive processes
Think on your deepest aspiration to build, to strengthen, to enhance life... whatever... towards feeling all life forms, to sense them in all their integrated ways of existence, how they reach out and how they shrink away TO AND FROM one another.
These are the concerns of the profound thinkers such as Moses, Buddha, Jesus, Aristotle, Descartes, Hume, Spinoza, Kant, Heidegger and many others. (for instance, Husserl in phenomenology, Piaget in child psychology, Maslow in the holistic approach to self actualized man)
It means- paint, draw, write, read, speak ever so slow and WITHOUT ANY MASTER TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO SPECIFICALLY.
1. talk, write, paint, draw, carefully out of the forces which are working within you.
2. become, through the process of painting, talking, etc. aware, more and more of these inner and outer ongoings.
3. apply these findings, feelings, knowings to your painting, talking, writing NOT FOR APPROVAL (that is the most complex process yet ever encountered by man of the modern work with telecommunication) - to a lesser degree this being influenced existed always, but now the amount of knowledge is so vast, we feel inferior.
BUT WAIT, there is an example which helps us to grasp the situation anew: the hologram, (the plate) of the holographic process. On this plate, the hologram, you will find in each fraction of the plate(like cutting a minute corner off), in that minute place is all(just about all) the information which is contained on the entire plate. Fascinating.
But let us rehearse, let me say it, write it again: we, all of us, each single one of us has this hologram potentiality in us, WE ARE IT.
Are these great thoughts of mine? Not at all. I do agree with the thoughts of all men who wrestled with these concerns for thousands of lives. But it is not the TIME that is an important factor, it is the life lived independent(or as close to independence as was capable of so doing, so living). Therefore, their lives matter. Your life matters. People begin to see your work to be genuine.
Now work, talk, paint- but DO NOT look for approval- just DO... and listen as detached and open as possible.
