take a real cubic meter of air. It takes minutes, days, years or decades but the air in it wil change: Maybe there will be a trashcan in it, or a wall, or 2 humans. Everything in it will change, but not the cube itself, it stays fore-ever. As humans we can only 'borrow' space, use space. We can buy it from others, travel in it, change it by will but we can never actually OWE it. Even our bodies (which take space), we get them when we are born, but we have to give them back to the earth.
The next question is, if we borrow space, what do we do with it, where do we focus on, what do we atrack from the world and what do we give? if we feel that we 'have' space we feel freedom and responsebility>
I spook to Mohammed today, the actor I'm going to work with and he spoke about freedom in the old city. There are so many people that have these different ideas of what is good and what not, in a very limited space, that you don't feel free to make your own choises, to have an identity. Something we in the Netherlands barely have to consiously deal with.
In the pictures we see the wailing, or, western wall. One of the most holy places on earth.
I'm very happy and tired from today, it's cold, 1.00 o'clock and tomorrow we go to the death sea!
