Conatus: Optics<\/h2>\n

Walter Hildebrandt<\/a><\/h4>\n

a good man
exists so fully
so intensely
he experiences eternity
in his lifetime<\/p>\n

grinding lenses
helping others
to focus
see
clearly\u2026
people need
a new vision
a better way
of Being
not with
theories
but fully living every day
free from
metaphysical
escape\u2026
a need to decentre
to see beyond
to inspire
to awaken
to reveal
a clear vision\u2026
a voyage of immanence
driven by the unconscious
conatus\u2026
in portraiture
eyes
are the most important
they depict
an event in time
a remembrance
of a presence
visualized
and eternalized\u2026
he [Rembrandt] saw in their eyes
an inner soul
he wanted
to capture that
advocated instead
for a story
of the human condition
the fight for freedom
every day\u2026
to create
to paint
to think
is to choose life
the power to act<\/p>\n

a new
model
the body
anew<\/p>\n

this lens grinder
advocates
better optics<\/p>\n

no mind\/body
problem
all things
coexist<\/p>\n
