missing discipline … today i somehow cannot get my head down on my work. daydreaming. my thoughts are focussing completely on my yearning for sun, warmth, travelling. so when my daughter suggested to “paint a sun for yourself” i instantly picked my colors & paper … look what we came up with:

sun is shining!

... in my office!

something great to share in my museum. this is how i want to live. following our spontaneous ideas without practical constraints forcing me to do something else. our next project will be painting a sun on our kitchen’s ceiling

“warum rede ich so viel, wenn ich doch so häufig das gesagte nicht in die tat umzusetzen vermag?”

(quelle: handbuch des kriegers des lichts, paulo coelho)

yearning for warmth. sun. light. !!!

as most of you know, we want – & urgently need! – a change of our environment. for more than one reason …

one idea to realise this would be housesitting. so if anyone is looking for a housesitter or knows anyone … please let me know!

the north sea today

tide coming in … but no water to see. looked like a moonscape. we came there to gather algae. worked hard to get a few handfull … mixed with lots of mud (filled up our b12 reserves ). ice cold hand & feet but lots of fun, wonderful fresh air & an afternoon to remember! & what a yummy dinner tonight

eat from your stash … my name for a game jademond has just started. sounds funny

somehow this is our usual way to eat …but with a stash only surviving a few days for it consists of 95% fresh fruit & greens. our kitchen is either empty or filled with an abundance of fruit. at the moment we have plenty of ripe papayas, bananas & pineapples, oranges, apples, pears, grapes, dates & enough spinache for about 3 days. besides there are blackberry leaves & some avocados. we also have some nuts, almonds & seeds in our cupboard but it seems we won’t need any of these the next days

… this is what we had the last days. we don’t stick to the usual meals, each of us eats whenever she is hungry, but most days m & i share three to four meals. j usually eats on his own.

wednesday:

• papaya, grapes, spinache
• durian with blackberry leaves
• grapes, dates, mulberries with blackberry leaves
• oranges with spinache
• j. does not play along; he ordered a pizza today. furthermore he had cucumber, apple, bread with peanut butter.

thursday:

• papaya with spinache
• grapes with spinache for me; a cream of banana, carob & greens decorated with raisins & salad for m
• spinache, tomatoes, 1/2 avocado, olives
• papaya (flesh for m, seeds for me ), apple, dates, fennel, blackberry leaves
• j had bread, vegan chocolate, 1 apple, 1 pear, grape juice.

we are just back home from 2 relaxing, heart-warming days with friends. 4 kids, ages 3 to 9, playing together all the time & getting along wonderful. 3 women, enjoying the time together talking talking talking. what a wonderful life! thank you so much!
