TIP OF THE MONTH

It’s June! . . .and that means, at least in Amsterdam that the city is fully OPEN. . .with Social Distancing.

However I personally feel that things should never be the same. . .in a good way.  We have had this warp in time to evolve. PS: With all the police violence and such I can only think of how we all must evolve and educate ourselves and invite others to as well. I could go on and on about this. I had hoped that this Covid period was a time for people to do so and it is clear that we must all evolve! Of course not everyone was home relaxing. . .the medical and police staff were out there. . .maybe it’s time for them to take a break to connect back to themselves too.

Many of us have had time to connect inside and to connect to each other in a new way. . .time for longer conversations via zoom and such. I do feel a bit sad that I will miss this time too, I must add. However I am feeling grateful that this has started up some new action on my part.

My largest breakthrough has been as an artist. Primarily in embodying space. . .my personal space. . .my studio space. I have hung up my art in the main area of the studio . . .and it’s there to stay.

This may seem like such a basic thing, but as I have been sharing my studio space with courses, workshops and events I always felt that it was better to not have any other art there so as to influence through images. Now this has shifted.

So as of today, restaurants are open again. . .the studio is open again. . .basically the whole city is open again, with social distancing . . . of course.
