About Me

CURRENT MISSION

...! WHAT IS... IS!!!

ABOUT ME

Just like a cloud... I AM... going in the direction where life is wanting me to BE. The feeling of being fully alive by understanding the temporariness of all is what... (really!)... IS! (for me... of cours)

No reasons for reasons... Embraced mysteries...

PHILOSOPHY

"What is... IS..." "The thickness of acceptance makes me type down the words I don't need to know"

Minimal music... Hans Joachim Roedelius, Philip Glass.
Tango Nuevo... Astor Piazzolla
Various jazz artists... Paul Chambers, Hermeto Pascoal, Hiromi, ect.


One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experiencing the temporariness of all by movement. The feeling of being one with everything around you by fully understanding that it is the mind which makes the separation occur and creates all duality.

Teach, Learn, Share

Able (and love!) to share the experience I have related to what men call life! Can share (don't like to use the word "teach") my experience when it comes to playing cello, guitar, and other instruments which I like playing (drums,bass). Have some knowledge about various software programs for graphic design, movie-editing, and music recording. Know how to make a nice meal (through experimenting). Have some experience working with children, work sometimes with children with various "disorders" (Autism, ADHD and down-syndrom) for a institute in Zuid-Holland (provence of Rotterdam).
