Questioning what is love
Categories The Arts
I’ve written a piece called “What Is Love”.
The idea came about whilst I was trying to answer that very question: What is love.
I wondered how animals would portray what love is through their attributes.

The energy to create things exists in all of us. Some of this energy flows through my hands in to words, rhyme, rhythm, capturing light, a part flows through my mouth into song, other through my body as love.
The Arts as such have always interested and fascinated me.
This section contains a couple of channels into which my energy has flown.
What Is Love
Categories The Arts
On a summers day, in a shady wood somewhere, near a quiet pond,
a grasshopper asked the frog, sitting on a water lily,
What is love?
a near by swallow chirped in and said:
It is when you feel as though you can keep flying up and up so high in the sky and feel the sun rays on your soul.
A cold room
Categories The Arts
For a short time I had the pleasure of living in a room in HomeBase.
The room was designated as a living and working space for artists. It was late summer but already the room was so cold that you could only work in it if you were packed up in thermals.

Commentary to Intellect
Categories The Arts
Every now and again I come into contact with somebody whose “operative view and processing” of the world is very different to my own.
This contrast causes me to review my own processing and often something rubs off or remains with me.
He Should Have Known Better

Why?
why?
the pain rising
despair
feeling left, left alone
the anger
The swear word just pops out

Sometimes one wants to give advice, be helpful to somebody. But if it is taken the wrong way or its not wished, and it backfires, hurting that very person you wanted to care for, you regret it afterwards, for days, for weeks.
I Am More Than

I am more than an employee
I am more than a servant
I am more than an image

Cutting the feelings that are painful
Categories The Arts
Feelings can be painful, especially when a relationship has no real possibility to grow, or the feelings are too strong, or it leads to questions about one’s dark past.
Sometimes it is necessary to protect oneself before it can blossom.
