1
00:00:03,778 --> 00:00:07,402
It was after ten days of walking in nature

2
00:00:07,402 --> 00:00:09,672
in silence on a meditation retreat

3
00:00:09,672 --> 00:00:11,787
and stepping into an area

4
00:00:11,787 --> 00:00:16,731
that was so pure and tender

5
00:00:16,731 --> 00:00:20,011
that it really felt like no person stepped there

6
00:00:20,011 --> 00:00:23,486
for a very long time or even forever.

7
00:00:23,486 --> 00:00:27,243
And when I stepped there,

8
00:00:27,243 --> 00:00:29,750
the first thought that came to my mind

9
00:00:29,750 --> 00:00:34,760
was questioning whether I have a right to be there,

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,909
stepping in a place full of living organisms

11
00:00:37,909 --> 00:00:41,859
thriving there without any human interference.

12
00:00:41,859 --> 00:00:43,978
And then the next thought was,

13
00:00:43,978 --> 00:00:46,113
"What if I was a cow?"

14
00:00:46,113 --> 00:00:47,777
You know, then it would be very natural

15
00:00:47,777 --> 00:00:49,119
for me to walk there.

16
00:00:49,119 --> 00:00:51,250
These very different questions

17
00:00:51,250 --> 00:00:55,716
and these very different ways of looking at myself

18
00:00:55,716 --> 00:00:58,686
walking in the world in a very certain moment

19
00:00:58,686 --> 00:01:02,125
really made me question the whole assumptions

20
00:01:02,125 --> 00:01:06,018
of how we, people, walk on Earth

21
00:01:06,018 --> 00:01:07,000
and work on Earth

22
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,940
and thrive on Earth.

23
00:01:08,940 --> 00:01:11,399
And is there really such a big difference

24
00:01:11,399 --> 00:01:14,870
between the way we view animals

25
00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:17,273
and the way we walk ourselves?

26
00:01:17,273 --> 00:01:20,512
And maybe this inspiration

27
00:01:20,512 --> 00:01:23,753
to how we as designers, as creative people,

28
00:01:23,753 --> 00:01:25,903
as people that are willing to question

29
00:01:25,903 --> 00:01:26,899
everything around us

30
00:01:26,899 --> 00:01:28,905
and find new ways,

31
00:01:28,905 --> 00:01:32,988
is very much about agreeing to walk like cows

32
00:01:32,988 --> 00:01:36,149
and agreeing to be part of this wealth

33
00:01:36,149 --> 00:01:37,968
of living organisms.
