People who tell you to go back to your roots are merely lonely –
they have already devolved to the pre-sapient stage and want you to join them back there.

Tunnel Vision
Language is just as much an instrument for seeing as eyes are.
Look at things – and you will see the world.
Look for things – and all you will see is the inside of your head. -
Strangeness
Sometimes, in the middle of the day on a country road,
the essential strangeness of the world
staggers you. -
Point of View
What is it that makes us human?
Is it soul,
technology,
the use of handkerchiefs
or two types of forks?
I think it is language, for it gives us empathy;
the ability to see through other’s eyes
and hence the ability to see something truly new.
Look through the eyes of an artist – it will give you the joy of creating a world.
Look through the eyes of history – it will give you the desire for changing the world.
Look through the eyes of a child – it will give you a reason for changing yourself. -
A turning point
A turning point is just a point:
you can turn and go back,
you can confront it and stand there until you drop,
you can go in a spiral – under or over…
there are always choices
and the number of them depends on your imagination
and on how much you are willing to change…
I prefer to lie in the grass,
looking up at passing clouds,
waiting for the turning point of the season to come to me…
and it will.
