Inspiration

It begins with a bible verse attached to me at the age of 12. 1st Timothy 4:14 "Do not neglect the gift you have which was given you by prophetic utterance when the elders laid their hands upon you". Then came the impossibile-to-read R. Buckminster Fuller, from whom I was able to extract "Design in harmony with nature and you will do more and more with less and less" and then the independent thinking physicist Richard Feinman wraps it all in the simple but profound "Perspective is worth 80 IQ points"
