CURRENT MISSION

to live on this planet with another 6684 billion people and not get irritated

ABOUT ME

A lightweight with high expectations of humanity, a homely traveler, a clownesk manager, a rational utopist, a hopeless romantic...
Apart from my part time job I organise fairs where young designers can present their work (www.marktvanmorgen.be). I dance and design costumes. I find selfcare as important as taking care of eachother and try to live healthy (meaning that i do all transport by bike, eat mainly vegetarian and rarely drink or smoke). In spite of my moralistic tendencies many find me entertaining company:-)

PHILOSOPHY

I feel that there are a lot of forces at work that we can't understand yet, so life generally calls me up to be modest..I believe that the concepts of acceptance, compassion and responsibility are elementary in our ways of relating
