Love for Love’s Sake; Protest Out Of Love Too
I find it good to challenge and question everything that offends us, our love and sense, in a world that is losing both. I find it good to add beauty and encouragement to all things that elevate us, that promote our love and sense, for the (less evident) part of the world that has neverContinue reading “Love for Love’s Sake; Protest Out Of Love Too”
Make Art. Promote Art. Be You
It takes guts to add to the beauty and profundity of the world. Keep moving forward anyway. When you get tired, rest. But focus on what you know. Let all appearances pass. All that you want to do is what you need to do. Be YOU. NJ,28 February 2015

In the Real World, During the Pandemic
I never noticed before that birds could sing so loud as this season. Maybe this spring is the opportunity to turn attention away from what we usually let into our minds and witness what mother earth is saying to us. In other words, there is a pointer to be more with the real world, toContinue reading “In the Real World, During the Pandemic”

You know very well – if you read even 10% of messages I posted since 2011,Continue reading “Prepared for Emergencies”

Hear Your Heart, In This Pause
#covid19 #shelteringinplace #beathome #hearyourheart My stress levels have been lowered significantly since I work from home and go out only for specific tasks. I am very grateful for that.

Could the Corona Virus Outbreak Be the Beginning of Mass Pandemics?
“We are going into largely undisturbed places and being exposed more and more. We are creating habitats where viruses are transmitted more easily, and then we are surprised that we have new ones. We are researching how species in degraded habitats are likely to carry more viruses which can infect humans. Simpler systems get anContinue reading “Could the Corona Virus Outbreak Be the Beginning of Mass Pandemics?”
Apple and Citrus Skins With Warm Spices
Here is a recipe that is less medicinal than “my” lemon (lime/grapefruit) peel tea, but has a better flavour. It will make your house smell heavenly. Most people find the scent of cinnamon and apple very pleasant and “cozy”. Apples have a strong symbolic link with Aphrodite and love, in our subconscious. Cinnamon and theContinue reading “Apple and Citrus Skins With Warm Spices”
