Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to finish and sort of understand the "Ulysess" by JJ, in about, let's say, 5 years
ABOUT ME
I still am a dreamer and a believer, but I am 44 and so, I do balance the latter with reality. I can be both extremely social, but I can also enjoy being alone, most of the time writing, or spending time in the darkroom and on long walks. I am disciplined and believe in hard work.
PHILOSOPHY
The following statement sums it up quite nicely:
"To create you must make magic, but there is no magic without discipline"
Kenneth Anger

Teach, Learn, Share
LEARN to be a better listener, more tolerant, more patient. Very, very hard.
TEACH by example to be a better listener. Hope I can teach this.
SHARE silence, your own, and laughter, of course, your own.
