A short gathering of summer thoughts where Hungary and the Netherlands reign. Not opposing, rather complimenting. Both not ideal, together having a source of necessity.
New post ‘Double Rooted’
The blooming started…
The moments that you try not to be creative but when things just flow. The moments when all aligns and your hands work what the material presents you. That I call creativity, such a joyful event.

Being out is a necessity: to absorb and observe the blooming and aliveness.
Pouch Filadelfia
