Concerning my question about the reason for his stay in Guatemala, Philipp said that he came to San Marcos to look for Jack Dawson, the lead character from the renowned movie Titanic - Jack symbolizes a way of natural, authentic living or let's say a simpe life, something that is often found in poverty, something that people with a rich background often look for but just temporarily, for the tendency to return to their cage of familiarity prevails. Why? Because the desire for comfort kills the passion of the soul. Because people only come home from the next field, in front of the next street, tame and quiet in the evening, where the household echoes are still haunted: their life wilts because it breathes its own breath again and again; their shadow extends further in the morning and in the evening than their daily steps. Unlike the majority, Philipp is transforming that temporary stay in Jack-ness into a permanent one, leaving his home by returning home: using his gifted, artisanal skills and basic material to build a fucking beautiful house, furniture and kayaks in San Marcos, embracing natural simplicity in such an astonishing and inspirational way that makes me feel so fucking grateful for getting to know this man and for still being able to follow his personal progress through social media. Philipp literally made himself become living poetry. And the thing that I love the most about him is the fact that he rejected his university diploma – the reason is so fucking wise, but concerning that matter, just check out this episode! Much love!
