Day 2591, cling to it.

Daily picture, Poetry
Did you know
that we

humankind

the thinking animal
can only see a glimpse of a truth
from behind a transparent fence
we cling to

some even hold the fence as a truth
others stare through it in the distance
and see that distance as truth. 

What do I think?
Of the truth?
Nothing.
Of the fence, we seem to face?
Just turn around and start walking
away from it
towards an other side

To trust one’s feelings – means to give more obedience to one’s grandfather and grandmother and their grandparents than to the gods which are in us: our reason and our experience.

and the expectations that follow
they will slowly get closer
with each step 

will I appreciate the distance that I will see 
ones I stand up
there
on that edge

or would I just look down at this valley
or an other

Book I

 17 Nature, good and evil – At first, men imagined themselves into nature: they saw everywhere themselves and their kind, especially their evil and capricious qualities, as it were hidden among the clouds, storms, beasts of prey, trees and plants: it was then they invented ‘ evil nature’. Then there came along an age when they again imagined themselves out of nature, the age of Rousseau: they were so fed up with one another they absolutely had to have a corner of the world into which man and his torments could not enter: they invented ‘ good nature’.
