THE CURSE OF A NARROW MIND

 

THE PORTRAIT FORMAT

 

THE WOMAN AND HER DAUGHTER

IN THE PICTURE WOULD LIKE TO

GET TO THE MOUNTAIN. IT SEEMS

NEVERTHELESS IMPOSSIBLE

BECAUSE OF THE HIGH WALL,

WHICH BARRES THE WAY TO THE TOP

 

THE LANDSCAPE FORMAT.

 

AS SOON AS WE WIDEN THE VISION, WE CAN SEE A WAY FORWARD. THE WALL ENDS AND A WE CAN SEE A PATH LEADING TO THE TOP AT TIMES WE JUST NEED TO TOPPLE THE FORMAT TO GIVE US A BETTER VIEW OF THINGS.

 

A FORMAT WITH EQUAL SIDES

 

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER HAVE ARRIVED

AT THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN. THE

FORMAT CEASES TO BE OF IMPORTANTS.

THEY HAVE MADE IT TO THEIR GOAL YET ONCE THEY HAVE CLIMBED THE FIRST MOUNTAIN

IMMEDIATELY OTHER MOUNTAINS CAN BE

CONQUERRED.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PEOPLE ARROUND US, SHAPE US.

 

SAD PEOPLE

 

IF WE ASSOCIATE OURSELVES WITH A BUNCH OF NEGATIVE AND SAD PEOPLE, WE SOON BECOME JUST LIKE THEM. WE BEGIN TO LOOK LIKE THEM, SPEAK LIKE THEM, WALK LIKE THEM........

WHOLE NATIONS ARE POISONED BECAUSE OF THIS. UNHAPPY PEOPLE MAKE UNHAPPY FAMILIES, UNHAPPY COMMUNITIES, EVEN NATIONS OR A WHOLE UNHAPPY WORLD.

 

MEDIOCRE PEOPLE

 

THE MASSES ARE LABLED MEDIOCRE. THEY ARE NEITHER HOT NOR COLD, NEITHER HALF FULL NOR HALF EMPTY AND EVERYBODY FEELS JUST SAVE IN THEIR COMPANY. THEY ALL DRESS THE SAME – IN SOMETHING YELLOW.

 

 

 

 

HAPPY PEOPLE

 

PEOPLE WHO SURROUND THEMSELVES WITH HAPPY PEOPLE STAND A GOOD CHANCE TO BECOME JUST LIKE THEM. THE CLEVER PERSON KNOWS THEREFORE WHERE TO SEEK HIS FRIENDS – AMONG HAPPY PEOPLE.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CONVERTING A DREAM

 

MAN WITHOUT VISION PERISHES

 

THE CLOUDS ABOVE ARE EMPTY JUST

LIKE MOST OF OUR HEADS. YET WITHOUT VISION OUR FUTURE DIES

AND OUR LIFE BECOMES BORING. VISION STIMULATES OUR BEING.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DREAMS ALONE FEED NO-ONE

 

THE DREAMER SELDOM SUCCEEDS. HE SITS AND WAITS FOR NEW DREAMS AND REMAINS TO BE A STORY TELLER. MAN DOES NOT LIVE BY DREAMS ALONE.

 

 

 

 

 

 

VISION WITHOUT WORK DIES

 

TO HAVE VISION IS GOOD, BUT TO BRING

THEM INTO REALITY IS BETTER. WHAT IS NEEDED IS A WILL TO WORK AND TO PERSIST.

 

 

 

 

 

THE CREATION OF A NEW MAN

 

TOO LITTLE SELF-WORTH CAN BE SOUL DESTROYING AND OFTEN IT BECOMES A DOWNWARD

SPIRAL UNTIL WE ARE A MERE REFLECTION OF OURSELVES. THE ARTIST HAS TAKEN THE

STORY OF CREATION AND THROUGH FIVE STEPS SHOWS US A WAY BACK INTO REALITY.

 

A SAD REALISATION

 

I AM A MERE REFLECTION OF MYSELF

UREACHABLE

LOOKING OUT FROM WITHIN,

THE WORLD AROUND ME -

OUT OF REACH.

CAPTURED IN MY MIRROR

I AM REMOVED FROM REALITY.

 

 

A FIRST STEP

 

THE FIRST STEP INTO REALITY

'HOW FAINT THE CROSS OF HOPE'

DEEP CALLS UNTO DEEP

I CAN FEEL MYSELF

MY FEET ARE TOUCHING GROUND.

I HEAR THE SOUNDS, THE NOISE,

MY EYES FAINTLY SEE.

I KNOW IT'S ME – TOUCHABLE.

 

 

A STEP INTO THE LIGHT

 

LET THERE BE LIGHT -

SEPARATED FROM THE DARK,

I STAND HALF IN THE LIGHT,

THE FUTURE HAS COME NEAR,

STILL WITHOUT FORM.

HOPE SPEAKS -

THE VISION TAKES SHAPE.

 

 

A STEP INTO REALITY

 

HERE IS MY NEW WORLD

WHICH SURROUNDS ME.

I SEE MYSELF IN THE MIRROR'S

REFLECTION,

TOGETHER WITH CREATION.

I AM PART OF IT -

DARKNESS HAS YIELDED.

MY THOUGHTS ARE TOUCHING GROUND.

 

 

 

I HAVE FOUND MYSELF

 

I AM AWAY FROM MIRROR

AND REFLECTION.

SURROUNDED BY REALITY,

ETERNITY IS IN VIEW.

THE TRUTH HAS GRIPPED

MY SOUL.

MY SPIRIT IS NEWLY BORN.
