“Perceiving how things are is a mode of exploring how things appear. How they appear is, however, an aspect of how they are. To explore appearance is thus to explore the environment, the world. To discover how things are, from how they appear, is to discover an order or pattern in their appearance. The process of perceiving, of finding out how things are, is a process of meeting the world; it is an activity of skillful exploration.” WorldOrderProcessEnvironmentActivityFindingsAspectMeetingsPatternsAppearanceExplorationExploringSkillful Author:Alva Noe
“I really struggled moving from New Zealand to the United States. I still have very strong ties to my home, and it took me a couple of years to feel settled in Los Angeles. Fortunately, I have a great group of friends and found the places where I enjoy spending my time. Finding beaches to get to made me feel much more plugged into the environment here.” FeelsYearsMadeStillsStatesHomeMovingFoundStrongEnjoyUnitedUnited StatesEnvironmentGroupsCoupleFindingsSpendingBeachTiesMy TimeLos AngelesVery StrongNew ZealandGroup Of Friends Author:Rose McIver
“My mother teaches high school English, and she's an artist and a poet and a sculptor, she's published twelve poetry books. I grew up in a household in Venezuela with living, breathing art installations that were the way that she used to express herself, a highly creative environment where ideas were celebrated, where artistic expression was celebrated. Seeing her as somebody who was always able to have a creative output - if she felt sad, she wrote a poem, if she felt happy, she made a sculpture - I think for me, there was an early interest in finding outlets for my passions.” IfsThinkingWayArtMadeBookIdeasAbleSchoolUsedMotherArtistPassionFeltInterestTeachCreativeEnvironmentSeeingPoetExpressionGrewFindingsGrew UpHigh SchoolArtisticBreathingTwelveHouseholdSculptureOutletsMy PassionSculptorsOutputVenezuelaArtistic ExpressionInstallationSchool English Author:Jason Silva
