We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves.

- Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you take them to.” from: Jim Jarmusch’s Golden Rules
With a nod to edith stein: life "doesn’t simply need what we have. It needs what we are."
ReplyDeleteIf that to which we have become accustomed is peeled away,
what we already are is so much better than any disguise we managed to create.
(It's why kids are so great. They already know this. I just try to get back to it.)
Simply some of my thoughts these days. Hope you don't mind.
[Bottom line must read:]
There is such great inspiration in your vision, M. Jakubowski.
