2018

PART 1:  Cum hoc, ergo propter hoc

The 1st part approaches gateway theory with farmer expression methods. 

Materials: Text, machine grease, garage door

The text (installed and written at a garage door) 

 

"There is no gate. Wisdom walks ahead of us at the horizon. When following, we acknowledge that each step is as essential as useless. If the horizon can't be reached, why to follow?  At this stage I take a deep breath, because the thought is a wide as the life is long. Why wouldn't we serve the best visible interest? Why follow the one that escapes? Today, as it's ok to be a little selfish, it's hard to be just a little wise. Often the one, whose few is somebody else's everything, is not willing to give a bit. At the same the one, whose  few is somebody else's nothing, is willing to give everything. The few is a seed. We sow and harvest each day. Wisdom is one. Life is a path. To know the path, one should look ahead, to the sides, to the back and each day within oneself."
