unformed adult zelig The hero of Woody Allen's mockumentary film, Zelig (1983), is an unformed adult who has no sense of himself. He borrows other people's identity, thinking he can be anybody. Actually, he is without a body. #film#mimetic#drawing#embodiment#diaries

What is the good quality you already have that will help you with that other thing and the tool you learned (during the training) that will help you. Three most important things to grow as a teacher. #practice#distraction#diaries

drunkard’s search A policeman sees a drunk man searching for something under a streetlight and asks what the drunk has lost. He says he lost his keys and they both look under the streetlight together.

The policeman asks why he is searching here, and the drunk replies, "this is where the light is". #hindu#diaries
