The scientist asks how it works The painter asks how it looks The counsellor asks how it feels And the mystic asks where it came from Everything has a history. Happiness, for instance. Where does that come from? Or jealousy, joy, truth, pain, friendship, hope, laughter, helicopters? Using short parable, brief history and poetic thought, Origins travels far and wide, inviting us to look not just at the river, but also at its source. Not just at the adult, but also at the child. Not just at the virtue or the crime, but also at the conditions in which they grow. Sometimes you have to go back to go forward. Order your copy of Origins More books   © Simon Parke
