from Nic’s film ‘the second glance’
————————–
‘ … perhaps true beauty is something that draws our attention at second glance, once the judgement of a first glance has realised it’s mistake.’
‘ … perhaps true beauty is to be seen beyond the judgement of a first glance. hidden somewhere in the mystery beyond what we assume to be facing us. hidden in the possibility of your second glance.’
(words by Nic Askew)

from Nic’s film ‘portrait of a human being’
————————–
‘ … where do you presume true wealth to exist?
where does the activity of your life presume true wealth to exist?’

from Nic’s film ’size doesn’t matter’
————————–
‘Perhaps it’s our superiority that keeps us from our own life.
And our capacity for humility that leads us to it.’
(words by Nic Askew)
————————–
‘Perhaps the soul of a nation is what lies within. Beneath the surface yet always there. Evident in its people, if you care to gaze in the right fashion.
Perhaps the soul of a nation is what it is capable of being.’
(words by Nic Askew)
from Nic’s film ’smile’
————————–
‘We have a need for certainty. So we presume that we know.
That we control. That we’re in control.
But perhaps it’s our assumption that we’ll be here tomorrow that keeps us from our capacity to live.
And from our capacity to smile without reason.’

from Nic’s monday9am film ’so happy to be so sad’
————————–
‘Don’t hurt, don’t cry, don’t risk, don’t feel, don’t actually take part. In life that is.
Take an aspirin, take a holiday, take a new job. Go shopping, go eating, go here, go there, go somewhere … somewhere else. Do anything to avoid taking notice.
But what if life were hidden in the heart of EVERY experience?
Would you be brave enough to avoid the avoidance?’
(words by Nic Askew)
