Fernando Pessoa: “The First Property of Things is Motion” (Part One)

Tattoo Art in Motion: Part One

“Our problem isn’t that we’re individualists. It’s that our individualism is static rather than dynamic. We value what we think rather than what we do. We forget that we haven’t done, or been, what we thought; that the first function of life is action, just as the first property of things is motion.”

    1. Unfortunately I was not able to find out his name. There are several more postings of him on my blog; however, I am still tagging for searching all my older postings from Tumblr. I am not sure if the older postings of him are “searchable “ as yet. Will keep you in mind if I can further help you. Happy Holidays- Chas (outside of DC, USA)
