NATURE

Who are we?
Where do we come from?
Where are we heading?

These three questions correspond to gravity,
providing some kind of anchoring in our lives.
Without these questions
we were at risk being flung into the emtiness of consumption
and extinction by staging ourselves.

Not only are these three questions anchors in our lives
in the confused and restless ocean of life,
our attempts to answer these three questions
are the cross braces that support the rails
we follow moving ahead in life.

That’s why we have painted, told stories, danced and sung
for centuries,
trying to answer these three questions.
Even though, long time ago we realized,
that rather then answering these questions,
our attempts revitalized them.

Once in a while we forget these questions.
But even if we all forgot them at the same time,
we would discover them again.

We will find memory-stickers
with these fundamental questions everywhere,
in a piece of music, in a text, in the eyes of an eager child,
in a landscape,
in the yearnings from our hearts.
