Galassenheit: galasse(cid:374)heit has (cid:374)o (cid:272)o(cid:374)(cid:272)rete o(cid:271)je(cid:272)ti(cid:448)e, it"s (cid:373)ore like the e(cid:454)perie(cid:374)(cid:272)e of the inexhaustibility of the world, sense of wonder and amazing at the fact there is a world, and the richness of the world. It would be different then you see it now: looking around with astonishment that there is a world. It should inspire a sense of wonder and mystery of the world: there is (cid:373)(cid:455)ster(cid:455) i(cid:374) the (cid:373)ost ordi(cid:374)ar(cid:455) e(cid:454)perie(cid:374)(cid:272)es, (cid:271)ut (cid:449)e do(cid:374)"t reall(cid:455) have an eye for it.

We do(cid:374)"t let (cid:374)ature e(cid:373)erge, (cid:449)e do(cid:374)"t let it sta(cid:374)d (cid:449)here it sta(cid:374)ds. We need to see nature more as an artist sees it, than an engineer.
