The Heart of It, by Oliver Jeffers

A dear friend just gifted me this lovely book, Begin Again, by Oliver Jeffers.
Check it out here: https://www.oliverjeffers.com/begin-again

Art’s purpose is to imperceptibly shift the ground under people’s feet. Science, technology, engineering, and maths are how we do things. Art is why we do them

See the beautiful poem from it below.

The Heart of It
When you dig
Deep enough,
By asking the why behind
The why
Enough times,
You come to a truth
At the heart of it;
That all people,
No matter where they are,
Where they are from,
Or what they believe,
Just want the same things
A den
A pack
Position
And direction

– Oliver Jeffers
