working, working, working, living & loving

yesterday i had time to write in my diary and i discovered that since three weeks i was never alone.  i almost worked all the time, day and night. i feel exhausted, and it feels difficult to carry on, because i need also time to reflect and dream about what we do at the moment, and now we must do everything together, the reflection accompanies the doing. so at the moment i feel stuck in the mud, i feel that i must go through an overwhelming turmoil of different things which we  must do for the project of marie therese, it will be a big communityproject, with hopefully a lot of people participating, but till now we are only seven.  ( and a bunch of kids). so there is indeed a lot to do, also on the organisational side of the project.

but the project is important for me, because it covers all kinf of different mediums, it wants to reveal a specific mentality to create, and it discusses the question how this approach of our work could benefit, or at leats influence the way of thinking about the society and the community.

and i work with new people, i always wanted to work with, like pieter ampe and anne juren, and i hope a lot of others too.

the only way to survive, and to be open enough to create, is to stay in the body, in my case i must go back with my awareness to my belly, this action stops that i doubt to much, or that the mind wanders away.
