The sheep are my thoughts  

Gina Folly & Albert Riera Galceran
08.12.15 - 11.01.26
London, United Kingdom



I'm herdsman of a flock.
The sheep are my thoughts
And my thoughts are all sensations.
I think with my eyes and my ears
And my hands and feet
And nostrils and mouth.

To think a flower is to see and smell it.
To eat a fruit is to sense its savor.

And that is why, when I feel sad,
In a day of heat, because of so much joy
And lay me down in the grass to rest
And close my sun-warmed eyes,
I feel my whole body relaxed in reality
And know the whole truth and am happy.


— ‘The Herdsman’ by Alberto Caeiro (Fernando Pessoa), translated by Edouard Roditi
