Ne morate planirati egzotično putovanje da biste našli stvaralačko nadahnuće. Samo pogledajte gore, kaže Gevin Pretor-Pini, osnivač Društva za uvažavanje oblaka. Dok sa nama deli zadivljujuće fotografije vazdušne arhitekture prirode, Pretor-Pini nas sve poziva da siđemo sa digitalne trake, legnemo na leđa i divimo se lepoti neba iznad nas.

Oblaci.
00:14
Have you ever noticed how much people moan about them?
1
2770
2622
Da li ste primetili koliko ljudi
jadikuje zbog njih?
jadikuje zbog njih?
00:17
They get a bad rap.
2
5392
2247
Oni su na lošem glasu.
00:19
If you think about it, the English language
3
7639
2547
Ako malo razmislite,
u engleskom jeziku
u engleskom jeziku
00:22
has written into it negative associations towards the clouds.
4
10186
4293
oblaci imaju negativne asocijacije.
00:26
Someone who's down or depressed,
5
14479
2467
Ako je neko potišten ili depresivan,
00:28
they're under a cloud.
6
16946
1691
nad njim se nadvio oblak.
00:30
And when there's bad news in store,
7
18637
1689
Ako se nazire neka loša vest,
00:32
there's a cloud on the horizon.
8
20326
2850
kaže se da je na horizontu oblačno.
00:35
I saw an article the other day.
9
23176
2032
Video sam jedan članak
pre nekoliko dana.
pre nekoliko dana.
00:37
It was about problems with computer processing
10
25208
3186
Bio je o problemima procesora
00:40
over the Internet.
11
28394
1822
nad internetom.
00:42
"A cloud over the cloud," was the headline.
12
30216
4924
Naslov je bio: "Oblak nad oblakom".
00:47
It seems like they're everyone's default
13
35140
1983
Izgleda da je oblak svakome
00:49
doom-and-gloom metaphor.
14
37123
2274
standardna metafora za pesimizam.
00:51
But I think they're beautiful, don't you?
15
39397
2153
Po meni, oni su divni, zar ne?
00:53
It's just that their beauty is missed
16
41550
3113
Samo smo propustili njihovu lepotu
00:56
because they're so omnipresent,
17
44663
2000
jer su sveprisutni,
00:58
so, I don't know, commonplace,
18
46663
3349
pa ih obično
01:02
that people don't notice them.
19
50012
1436
ljudi i ne primećuju.
01:03
They don't notice the beauty, but they don't even notice the clouds
20
51448
2879
Ne zapažaju lepotu,
ne zapažaju ni oblake,
ne zapažaju ni oblake,
01:06
unless they get in the way of the sun.
21
54327
2630
dok ne zaklone sunce.
01:08
And so people think of clouds as
22
56957
2305
Ljudi razmišljaju o oblacima
01:11
things that get in the way.
23
59262
2080
kao o stvarima koje smetaju.
01:13
They think of them as the annoying, frustrating obstructions,
24
61342
5071
Razmišljaju o njima kao o nečem
što nervira, što je dosadna prepreka,
što nervira, što je dosadna prepreka,
01:18
and then they rush off and do some blue-sky thinking.
25
66413
2920
onda odjure i maštaju.
01:21
(Laughter)
26
69333
2385
(Smeh)
01:23
But most people, when you stop to ask them,
27
71718
2223
Ali većina ljudi,
kada zastanete da ih pitate,
kada zastanete da ih pitate,
01:25
will admit to harboring a strange sort of fondness for clouds.
28
73941
4850
priznaće da krije u sebi neku
čudnu naklonost prema oblacima.
čudnu naklonost prema oblacima.
01:30
It's like a nostalgic fondness,
29
78791
2659
To je neka nostalgična naklonost
01:33
and they make them think of their youth.
30
81450
3134
i tera ih da misle o mladosti.
01:36
Who here can't remember thinking, well,
31
84584
3236
Ko ovde ne može da se seti
01:39
looking and finding shapes in the clouds
32
87820
2602
gledanja u oblake
i nalaženja raznih oblika
i nalaženja raznih oblika
01:42
when they were kids?
33
90422
1343
kada smo bili deca?
01:43
You know, when you were masters of daydreaming?
34
91765
6731
Sećate se, kada ste bili
majstori sanjarenja.
majstori sanjarenja.
01:50
Aristophanes, the ancient Greek playwright,
35
98496
2767
Aristofan, drevni grčki dramski pisac,
01:53
he described the clouds as the patron godesses
36
101263
3351
opisao je oblake kao boginje zaštitnice
01:56
of idle fellows
37
104614
1784
usamljenih momaka,
01:58
two and a half thousand years ago,
38
106398
1215
pre dve i po hiljade godina,
01:59
and you can see what he means.
39
107613
1341
i možete razumeti šta je time mislio.
02:00
It's just that these days, us adults seem reluctant
40
108954
4998
Samo u sadašnjosti, mi odrasli nerado
02:05
to allow ourselves the indulgence
41
113952
3360
dozvoljavamo sebi zadovoljstvo
02:09
of just allowing our imaginations
42
117312
2632
da dozvolimo mašti
02:11
to drift along in the breeze, and I think that's a pity.
43
119944
3670
da plovi po povetarcu
i mislim da je to šteta.
i mislim da je to šteta.
02:15
I think we should perhaps do a bit more of it.
44
123614
2386
Mislim da bi trebalo više
pustiti mašti na volju.
pustiti mašti na volju.
02:18
I think we should be a bit more willing, perhaps,
45
126000
3020
Trebalo bi da smo više voljni
02:21
to look at the beautiful sight of the sunlight bursting out
46
129020
3943
da pogledamo divan prizor
probijanja sunčevih zraka
probijanja sunčevih zraka
02:24
from behind the clouds and go, "Wait a minute,
47
132963
3466
iza oblaka i da kažemo:
"Čekaj samo,
"Čekaj samo,
02:28
that's two cats dancing the salsa!"
48
136429
2339
pa ovo su dve mačke koje plešu salsu!"
02:30
(Laughter) (Applause)
49
138768
1397
(Smeh) (Aplauz)
02:32
Or seeing the big, white, puffy one up there
50
140165
5766
Ili ako pogledate ovaj veliki,
beli, pufnasti,
beli, pufnasti,
02:37
over the shopping center looks like
51
145931
1922
iznad tržnog centra, izgleda kao
02:39
the Abominable Snowman going to rob a bank.
52
147853
3633
neki Užasni Sneško
koji će opljačkati banku.
koji će opljačkati banku.
02:43
(Laughter)
53
151486
3196
(Smeh)
02:46
They're like nature's version of those inkblot images,
54
154682
3918
Oni su odgovor prirode
na mrlje od mastila,
na mrlje od mastila,
02:50
you know, that shrinks used to show their patients
55
158600
2060
znate, koje su psihijatri
pokazivali pacijentima
pokazivali pacijentima
02:52
in the '60s,
56
160660
1612
'60-tih godina,
02:54
and I think if you consider the shapes you see in the clouds,
57
162272
3725
i ako uzmete u obzir
oblike koje vidite u oblacima,
oblike koje vidite u oblacima,
02:57
you'll save money on psychoanalysis bills.
58
165997
3890
uštedećete na računu za psihoanalizu.
03:01
Let's say you're in love. All right?
59
169887
1879
Recimo da ste zaljubljeni. U redu?
03:03
And you look up and what do you see?
60
171766
2197
Pogledate gore i šta vidite?
03:05
Right? Or maybe the opposite.
61
173963
2626
Dobro? Ili možda suprotno.
03:08
You've just been dumped by your partner,
62
176589
2044
Upravo vas je odbacio partner
03:10
and everywhere you look, it's kissing couples.
63
178633
3109
i gde god da gledate,
vidite parove koji se ljube.
vidite parove koji se ljube.
03:13
(Laughter)
64
181742
1952
(Smeh)
03:15
Perhaps you're having a moment of existential angst.
65
183694
3756
Možda imate trenutak
egzistencijalne strepnje.
egzistencijalne strepnje.
03:19
You know, you're thinking about your own mortality.
66
187450
2332
Možda razmišljate o svojoj smrtnosti.
03:21
And there, on the horizon, it's the Grim Reaper.
67
189782
3117
I tamo, na horizontu, je Smrt,
sa velikim S.
sa velikim S.
03:24
(Laughter)
68
192899
2959
(Smeh)
03:27
Or maybe you see a topless sunbather.
69
195858
3445
Možda vidite nekog
ko se sunča u toplesu.
ko se sunča u toplesu.
03:31
(Laughter)
70
199303
1629
(Smeh)
03:32
What would that mean?
71
200932
3072
Šta bi to značilo?
03:36
What would that mean? I have no idea.
72
204004
5531
Šta bi to značilo?
Nemam pojma.
Nemam pojma.
03:41
But one thing I do know is this:
73
209535
2230
Ali jedno znam:
03:43
The bad press that clouds get is totally unfair.
74
211765
3375
primedbe u vezi sa oblacima
su potpuno nepravedne.
su potpuno nepravedne.
03:47
I think we should stand up for them,
75
215140
1377
Trebalo bi da se zauzmemo za njih,
03:48
which is why, a few years ago,
76
216517
1327
zato sam pre nekoliko godina
03:49
I started the Cloud Appreciation Society.
77
217844
3174
osnovao Društvo za uvažavanje oblaka.
03:53
Tens of thousands of members now
78
221018
2572
Ima desetine hiljada članova
03:55
in almost 100 countries around the world.
79
223590
2026
u skoro 100 zemalja u svetu.
03:57
And all these photographs that I'm showing,
80
225616
3001
Sve ove slike koje prikazujem
04:00
they were sent in by members.
81
228617
2356
poslali su članovi društva.
04:02
And the society exists to remind people of this:
82
230973
3464
Društvo postoji da bi
podsetilo ljude na sledeće:
podsetilo ljude na sledeće:
04:06
Clouds are not something to moan about.
83
234437
3047
ne treba jadikovati u vezi sa oblacima.
04:09
Far from it. They are, in fact,
84
237484
2383
Daleko od toga. Oni su, u stvari,
04:11
the most diverse, evocative, poetic aspect of nature.
85
239867
7710
najraznolikiji, najsugestivniji,
najpoetičniji aspekt prirode.
najpoetičniji aspekt prirode.
04:19
I think, if you live with your head in the clouds
86
247577
3267
Ako ponekad živite u oblacima,
04:22
every now and then, it helps you keep your feet on the ground.
87
250844
2812
to vam pomaže
da čvrsto stojite na zemlji.
da čvrsto stojite na zemlji.
04:25
And I want to show you why, with the help of
88
253656
1622
A pokazaću vam i zašto, uz pomoć
04:27
some of my favorite types of clouds.
89
255278
2245
nekih mojih omiljenih tipova oblaka.
04:29
Let's start with this one. It's the cirrus cloud,
90
257523
2249
Da počnemo sa ovim.
Ovo je oblak cirus,
Ovo je oblak cirus,
04:31
named after the Latin for a lock of hair.
91
259772
3028
koji je nazvan po latinskoj reči
za uvojak kose.
za uvojak kose.
04:34
It's composed entirely of ice crystals
92
262800
1621
Sastoji se uglavnom od ledenih kristala
04:36
cascading from the upper reaches of the troposphere,
93
264421
2516
koji se stepenasto spuštaju
iz gornjih delova troposfere
iz gornjih delova troposfere
04:38
and as these ice crystals fall,
94
266937
1422
i dok kristali padaju,
04:40
they pass through different layers with different winds
95
268359
2399
prolaze kroz različite slojeve,
sa raznim vetrovima
sa raznim vetrovima
04:42
and they speed up and slow down,
96
270758
2008
ubrzavaju se i usporavaju,
04:44
giving the cloud these brush-stroked appearances,
97
272766
3059
dajući ovim oblacima izgled
kao da su potezi urađeni četkom,
kao da su potezi urađeni četkom,
04:47
these brush-stroke forms known as fall streaks.
98
275825
2935
ovi potezi se nazivaju
padajući pramenovi.
padajući pramenovi.
04:50
And these winds up there can be very, very fierce.
99
278760
2011
Ovi vetrovi gore mogu biti veoma žestoki.
04:52
They can be 200 miles an hour, 300 miles an hour.
100
280771
2581
Mogu biti 300-500 km na sat.
04:55
These clouds are bombing along,
101
283352
1209
Oni jure,
04:56
but from all the way down here,
102
284561
1783
ali odavde
04:58
they appear to be moving gracefully, slowly,
103
286344
3440
izgleda kao da se kreću
graciozno, polako,
graciozno, polako,
05:01
like most clouds.
104
289784
2209
kao većina oblaka.
05:03
And so to tune into the clouds is to slow down,
105
291993
3223
Uskladiti se sa oblacima znači usporiti,
05:07
to calm down.
106
295216
1945
smiriti se.
05:09
It's like a bit of everyday meditation.
107
297161
2833
To je vrsta svakodnevne meditacije.
05:11
Those are common clouds.
108
299994
1160
Ovo su obični oblaci.
05:13
What about rarer ones, like the lenticularis,
109
301154
2802
A šta je sa retkom vrstom, kao što su
lentikularni oblaci
lentikularni oblaci
05:15
the UFO-shaped lenticularis cloud?
110
303956
2351
NLO oblika?
05:18
These clouds form in the region of mountains.
111
306307
2520
Ovi oblaci formiraju se
u planinskim područjima.
u planinskim područjima.
05:20
When the wind passes, rises to pass over the mountain,
112
308827
2885
Kako vetar prolazi, kako se diže
da prođe iznad planine,
da prođe iznad planine,
05:23
it can take on a wave-like path in the lee of the peak,
113
311712
3239
može se pretvoriti u talasastu stazu
u zavetrini na vrhu,
u zavetrini na vrhu,
05:26
with these clouds hovering at the crest
114
314951
2727
sa ovim oblacima koji lebde na vrhu
05:29
of these invisible standing waves of air,
115
317678
2660
nevidljivih vazdušnih talasa,
05:32
these flying saucer-like forms,
116
320338
2262
ovi oblici koji liče na leteće tanjire,
05:34
and some of the early black-and-white UFO photos
117
322600
2664
i neke od prvih
crno-belih fotografija NLO,
crno-belih fotografija NLO,
05:37
are in fact lenticularis clouds. It's true.
118
325264
2916
u stvari su lentikularni oblaci.
Zaista.
Zaista.
05:40
A little rarer are the fallstreak holes. All right?
119
328180
3839
Malo ređi su oblaci sa otvorima.
05:44
This is when a layer is made up of very, very cold
120
332019
2188
Ovo se dešava kada se omotač
sastoji od vrlo hladnih
sastoji od vrlo hladnih
05:46
water droplets, and in one region they start to freeze,
121
334207
3064
kapljica vode, i na jednom mestu
počne zamrzavanje,
počne zamrzavanje,
05:49
and this freezing sets off a chain reaction which spreads outwards
122
337271
3039
i to pokreće lančanu reakciju
koja se širi prema spolja
koja se širi prema spolja
05:52
with the ice crystals cascading and falling down below,
123
340310
2832
sa ledenim kristalima
koji stepenasto padaju
koji stepenasto padaju
05:55
giving the appearance of jellyfish tendrils down below.
124
343142
4839
i izgledaju odozdo kao kraci meduze.
05:59
Rarer still, the Kelvin–Helmholtz cloud.
125
347981
4080
Još je ređa vrsta oblaka,
Kelvin-Helmholc oblak.
Kelvin-Helmholc oblak.
06:04
Not a very snappy name. Needs a rebrand.
126
352061
3442
Nije neki moderan naziv.
Treba da mu se promeni ime.
Treba da mu se promeni ime.
06:07
This looks like a series of breaking waves,
127
355503
3760
Izgleda kao serija talasa koji se lome,
06:11
and it's caused by shearing winds -- the wind
128
359263
2694
prouzrokovan promenljivim vetrovima -
06:13
above the cloud layer and below the cloud layer
129
361957
1962
iznad i ispod sloja oblaka
06:15
differ significantly, and in the middle, in between,
130
363919
2856
značajno se razlikuju a u sredini,
između,
između,
06:18
you get this undulating of the air,
131
366775
1883
imamo talasanje vazduha
06:20
and if the difference in those speeds is just right,
132
368658
2201
i ako je razlika u brzinama prava,
06:22
the tops of the undulations curl over
133
370859
1902
vrhovi talasa uvijaju se
06:24
in these beautiful breaking wave-like vortices.
134
372761
3862
u ove isprekidane talasaste vrtloge.
06:28
All right. Those are rarer clouds than the cirrus,
135
376623
2360
Oni su ređi oblaci od cirusa
06:30
but they're not that rare.
136
378983
1752
ali ne baš toliko.
06:32
If you look up, and you pay attention to the sky,
137
380735
2848
Ako pogledate gore
i obratite pažnju na nebo,
i obratite pažnju na nebo,
06:35
you'll see them sooner or later,
138
383583
1873
pre ili kasnije ćete ih videti
06:37
maybe not quite as dramatic as these, but you'll see them.
139
385456
2655
možda ne ovako dramatične,
ali videćete.
ali videćete.
06:40
And you'll see them around where you live.
140
388111
2185
Videćete i kod vas.
06:42
Clouds are the most egalitarian
141
390296
2561
Oblaci su najpravičniji
06:44
of nature's displays, because we all have a good,
142
392857
2674
prikaz prirode, jer svi imamo
06:47
fantastic view of the sky.
143
395531
2631
fantastičan pogled na nebo.
06:50
And these clouds, these rarer clouds,
144
398162
1840
Ovi oblaci, ovi ređi oblaci,
06:52
remind us that the exotic can be found in the everyday.
145
400002
4720
podsećaju nas na to, da egzotiku
možemo naći svakodnevno.
možemo naći svakodnevno.
06:56
Nothing is more nourishing, more stimulating
146
404722
2759
Ništa nije zdravije, stimulativnije
06:59
to an active, inquiring mind than being surprised,
147
407481
3467
za aktivni, znatiželjni um,
od iznenađenja
od iznenađenja
07:02
being amazed. It's why we're all here at TED, right?
148
410948
3696
oduševljenja.
Zato smo svi na TED-u, zar ne?
Zato smo svi na TED-u, zar ne?
07:06
But you don't need to rush off
149
414644
2945
Ali ne morate bežati
07:09
away from the familiar, across the world
150
417589
2360
od poznatog u svet
07:11
to be surprised.
151
419949
1462
da biste se iznenadili.
07:13
You just need to step outside,
152
421411
2775
Treba samo da iskoračite,
07:16
pay attention to what's so commonplace, so everyday,
153
424186
2576
da obratite pažnju na ono što je
tako uobičajeno, svakodnevno,
tako uobičajeno, svakodnevno,
07:18
so mundane that everybody else misses it.
154
426762
3987
ovozemaljsko, da niko i ne primećuje.
07:22
One cloud that people rarely miss is this one:
155
430749
2414
Jedan oblak
koji se retko propušta je ovaj:
koji se retko propušta je ovaj:
07:25
the cumulonimbus storm cloud.
156
433163
2968
olujni oblak kumulonimbus.
07:28
It's what's produces thunder and lightning and hail.
157
436131
2434
On proizvodi grmljavinu, munju i grad.
07:30
These clouds spread out at the top in this enormous
158
438565
3175
Ovi oblaci šire se
na vrhu u ovaj ogroman
na vrhu u ovaj ogroman
07:33
anvil fashion stretching 10 miles up into the atmosphere.
159
441740
2822
oblik nakovnja i prostiru se
na 16 km visoko u atmosferu.
na 16 km visoko u atmosferu.
07:36
They are an expression of the majestic architecture
160
444562
3419
Oni su izraz veličanstvene arhitekture
07:39
of our atmosphere.
161
447981
1885
naše atmosfere.
07:41
But from down below, they are the embodiment
162
449866
3386
Ali odozdo oni su oličenje
07:45
of the powerful, elemental force and power
163
453252
4131
moćne, elementarne sile i snage
07:49
that drives our atmosphere.
164
457383
1894
koja pokreće atmosferu.
07:51
To be there is to be connected in the driving rain
165
459277
4114
Biti prisutan znači biti povezan
sa energičnom kišom
sa energičnom kišom
07:55
and the hail, to feel connected to our atmosphere.
166
463391
3302
i gradom, osećati povezanost
sa atmosferom.
sa atmosferom.
07:58
It's to be reminded that we are creatures
167
466693
2298
To je podsećanje da smo mi stvorenja
08:00
that inhabit this ocean of air.
168
468991
1709
koja naseljavaju ovaj vazdušni okean.
08:02
We don't live beneath the sky. We live within it.
169
470700
3397
Ne živimo ispod neba.
Živimo unutar njega.
Živimo unutar njega.
08:06
And that connection, that visceral connection to our atmosphere
170
474097
4083
Ta veza, ta intuitivna veza
sa atmosferom
sa atmosferom
08:10
feels to me like an antidote.
171
478180
2436
meni se čini kao protivotrov.
08:12
It's an antidote to the growing tendency we have
172
480616
3104
To je protivotrov koji moramo osetiti
prema rastućoj tendenciji
prema rastućoj tendenciji
08:15
to feel that we can really ever experience life
173
483720
3875
da stvarno možemo iskusiti život
08:19
by watching it on a computer screen, you know,
174
487595
1861
gledajući ga na ekranu kompjutera
08:21
when we're in a wi-fi zone.
175
489456
2804
ili kad smo u wi-fi zoni.
08:24
But the one cloud that best expresses
176
492260
2284
Ali oblak koji najbolje izražava
08:26
why cloudspotting is more valuable today than ever
177
494544
2925
zašto je posmatanje oblaka
vrednije danas, nego ikada ranije,
vrednije danas, nego ikada ranije,
08:29
is this one, the cumulus cloud.
178
497469
3191
je ovaj kumulus.
08:32
Right? It forms on a sunny day.
179
500660
2079
On nastaje kad je sunčan dan.
08:34
If you close your eyes and think of a cloud,
180
502739
1761
Kada zatvorite oči i pomislite na oblak
08:36
it's probably one of these that comes to mind.
181
504500
2708
verovatno mislite na ovaj.
08:39
All those cloud shapes at the beginning,
182
507208
2624
Svi oni oblici oblaka sa početka
08:41
those were cumulus clouds.
183
509832
2143
bili su kumulusi.
08:43
The sharp, crisp outlines of this formation
184
511975
3624
Oštri, jasni obrisi ovih formacija
08:47
make it the best one for finding shapes in.
185
515599
3156
najbolji su za pronalaženje
raznih oblika u njima.
raznih oblika u njima.
08:50
And it reminds us
186
518755
1972
Podseća nas
08:52
of the aimless nature of cloudspotting,
187
520727
3944
na besciljnu prirodu
posmatranja oblaka,
posmatranja oblaka,
08:56
what an aimless activity it is.
188
524671
2249
koliko je to spontana aktivnost.
08:58
You're not going to change the world
189
526920
1654
Nećete promeniti svet
09:00
by lying on your back and gazing up at the sky, are you?
190
528574
4137
ako ležite na leđima zureći u nebo.
09:04
It's pointless. It's a pointless activity,
191
532711
2223
To je beznačajna aktivnost,
09:06
which is precisely why it's so important.
192
534934
4856
baš je zato toliko važna.
09:11
The digital world conspires to make us feel
193
539790
4029
Digitalni svet kuje zaveru
da bismo se osećali
da bismo se osećali
09:15
eternally busy, perpetually busy.
194
543819
2771
večito užurbani, neprestano zauzeti.
09:18
You know, when you're not dealing with
195
546590
1553
Znate, kada niste
09:20
the traditional pressures of earning a living
196
548143
2959
pod pritiskom zarađivanja za život,
09:23
and putting food on the table, raising a family,
197
551102
2654
obezbeđivanja hrane
i podizanja porodice,
i podizanja porodice,
09:25
writing thank you letters,
198
553756
2074
pisanja pisama zahvalnosti,
09:27
you have to now contend with
199
555830
2712
kada morate odgovoriti
09:30
answering a mountain of unanswered emails,
200
558542
3566
na brdo imejlova
na koje niste odgovorili,
na koje niste odgovorili,
09:34
updating a Facebook page,
201
562108
1858
morate ažurirati Fejsbuk stranicu,
09:35
feeding your Twitter feed.
202
563966
2548
i tvitovati.
09:38
And cloudspotting legitimizes doing nothing.
203
566514
3786
A posmatranje oblaka vam
daje za pravo da ne radite ništa.
daje za pravo da ne radite ništa.
09:42
(Laughter)
204
570300
1905
(Smeh)
09:44
And sometimes we need —
205
572205
2652
Ponekad treba -
09:46
(Applause)
206
574857
5608
(Aplauz)
09:52
Sometimes we need excuses to do nothing.
207
580465
4083
Ponekad nam trebaju izgovori
da ne bismo ništa radili.
da ne bismo ništa radili.
09:56
We need to be reminded by these
208
584548
2782
Treba da nas podsećaju
09:59
patron goddesses of idle fellows
209
587330
3532
ove boginje zaštitnice
usamljenih momaka
usamljenih momaka
10:02
that slowing down
210
590862
2975
da usporimo,
10:05
and being in the present, not thinking about
211
593837
3803
da budemo prisutni u sadašnjosti,
da ne mislimo o tome
da ne mislimo o tome
10:09
what you've got to do and what you should have done,
212
597640
2854
šta treba da radimo
i šta je trebalo da uradimo,
i šta je trebalo da uradimo,
10:12
but just being here, letting your imagination
213
600494
2735
nego samo da postojimo,
da dozvolimo mašti
da dozvolimo mašti
10:15
lift from the everyday concerns down here
214
603229
2762
da nas uzdigne od svakodnevnih briga
10:17
and just being in the present, it's good for you,
215
605991
2832
i da jednostavno budemo prisutni
u sadašnjosti, to je za vaše dobro,
u sadašnjosti, to je za vaše dobro,
10:20
and it's good for the way you feel.
216
608823
2138
dobro je za vaše raspoloženje.
10:22
It's good for your ideas. It's good for your creativity.
217
610961
3568
Dobro je za ideje.
Dobro je za kreativnost.
Dobro je za kreativnost.
10:26
It's good for your soul.
218
614529
3350
Dobro je za dušu.
10:29
So keep looking up,
219
617879
2227
Nastavite da gledate gore,
10:32
marvel at the ephemeral beauty,
220
620106
3053
divite se prolaznoj lepoti
10:35
and always remember to live life with your head in the clouds.
221
623159
3424
i zapamtite:
živite sa glavom u oblacima.
živite sa glavom u oblacima.
10:38
Thank you very much.
222
626583
1187
Mnogo vam hvala.
10:39

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Gavin Pretor-Pinney - CloudspotterCloud Appreciation Society founder Gavin Pretor-Pinney shows how seemingly idle pursuits provide unexpected paths to appreciating overlooked wonders.
Why you should listen
As co-founder of The Idler magazine, Gavin Pretor-Pinney is a longtime advocate of the joys of time ill-spent. In The Cloudspotter's Guide and The Cloud Collector's Handbook, he tackles the idlest pursuit of all: cloudwatching.
Pretor-Pinney’s blend of tranquil appreciation and hard science have floated his cloud books to the top of bestseller lists. For Pretor-Pinney, clouds illustrate how mundane phenomena reveal the complex vectors that connect the natural wonders around us.
Pretor-Pinney is also the author of The Wavewatcher's Companion.
