              RI-592i  'How To Look At People'


from Ambassador for Mankind (Ron's Inspector)


Message # RI-592i for Internet



People are each a Work of Art.


You can look at someone
 and you can see how he creates himself or herself.

You can see what he or she puts there
 for you to perceive:
   the shape of the body, the facial expression,
   the clothes, the motions and mannerisms, etc.


Each person does that
 - each person puts something there
 for you and others to look at.

And that is his or her creation,
 and actually it is
  his or her work of Art.


I don't mind
 how much he or she borrowed from others.

I don't mind
 how much he or she borrowed from
  his or her own earlier creations of himself or herself.


If you get a very good actor
 like Meryl Streep,
  for instance in her recent movie 'Bridges of Madison County',
 she creates every moment of her role,
 and she creates it NEWLY
  for each moment of the film-recording.

By contrast,
 you get someone like John Wayne or Roger Moore
 and
  they created something, probably when they were teenagers,
  and they were very popular with that creation,
   people liked how they spoke and moved,
 and John Wayne or Roger Moore
  used that ever since,
   as something for people to look at, to perceive.
They don't create something totally new
 for each movie they make.
But it's still a work of Art
 that they put up for others to see.


Some people have very little own creation,
 they borrow most from others.

Some people put up something to perceive
 which is completely different from
 or the opposite of
  what they actually are.

But they still create it so.

It may be a fake piece of Art,
 but it still is what they create and put up
 for others to see.


And some people
 - maybe one in ten (or one in fifty,
   depending on where you are,
   in which town, region or country) -
 some people, just by being there and being alive,
  put out for you, create for you to see
   a very beautiful work of Art.


All people are works of Art
 which they create
  (knowingly or unknowingly)
  for others to see.


Have a look at people!

You will be astonished
 how much beauty and aliveness
  most people (including also the very young and the very old)
  do produce every moment
  - for you to perceive any time you like to look at them.


with love,

Koos
