CURRENT MISSION

to be able to lick my elbow better than i do now

ABOUT ME

i am human.
for the last nine years of my life i have decided to try and fuel my body without devouring the flesh of another sentient being.
some call this vegetarian.
a nurturer, i feel ever-so struck and overwhelmed by beauty of places, people, all that surrounds me...
colours, seashells, daisies, the fresh smell of wet African soil after the rain intrigue me. my list could go on forever.
i treasure phenomenons. like sunsets. and laughter. i love laughing as much as i love hearing people around me laugh. that doesn't make me funny.
attention to detail is the key.
you see something, you share it. let the whole world know. and make them share their own treasures again in return.
becoming quiet every now and again is important to me. just shutting up and slowing down can do worlds of good, especially in this hectically busy time we find ourselves in.
senses amaze me...how smells can instantly rehash moments passed, when memories feel more real than the cold snow on your face or the salty waves rushing over your body.
i love how we're all different, yet essentially the same.
we breathe,
touch,
taste,
smell,
see,
hear,
scream.
it's just one joyous celebration really.

'Life can't give me joy & peace. It's up to me to will it.
Life gives me time & space, it's up to me to fill it.'

PHILOSOPHY

love to live _ live to love

Algo increíble que he hecho

i danced with a medicine man, a 'sangoma', in the rural North of Namibia once. it was nerve-tingling and mystical, i can still remember the smell of the dried antelope tail, maize kept in big silos for the winter and the sound of rattles used to summon the spirits for their blessing and guidance.

camping in the Namib Desert wrapped in only endless open sky with millions of crystal clear stars shining their way into your inner still mesmerizes me to this day.
there are many things i miss about my home, Africa.
but every place brings life. and enriches you with its raw and crazy ways.
