Move and walk... wind, my friend

Random thoughts:

 

The breeze knows better

How to teach a child

The skills of breathing and expanding

 

Become a child through love and air

And forgive the force of the uknown

 

 

Всеки човек е различен и не може всички да сме еднакви: The snail is slow and steady and appreciates the path that he is on...not solely focused on where he is going.

This implies that the art of life is more like navigation than warfare, for what is important is to understand the winds, the tides, the currents, the seasons, and the principles of growth and decay, so that one’s actions may use them and not fight them:

Because they are mutually arising, figure and ground exist interdependently, in dynamic relation to each other: “We are not aware of any figure — be it an image, sound, or tactile impression — except in relation to a background. . . . What we perceive is never a figure alone but a figure/ground relationship” (Watts, 1974, p. 19). Thus the nature of perception is to apprehend not just the figure, but the entire field or the figure-ground relationship. The relationship between the figure and the ground is the meaning. When we fight this natural process of perceiving the figure-ground relationships, we lose the creative tension that builds meaning in our lives. As Jung has said, “Meaninglessness inhibits fullness of life and is therefore equivalent to illness. Meaning makes a great many things endurable-perhaps everything” (1963, p. 340).In Gestalt therapy, this interplay between the figure and ground is critical to the health and viability of the self, on maintaining the elasticity of the figure/ground relationship, and it is, in the Gestalt view, the process of growth and maturation.
