Music, Movies, and Books

I love Dutch music, the last movie I enjoyed very much seeing was 'What dreams may come' with Robin Williams and 'What the bleep do we know, down the rabbithole. As it is in Heaven! Great movie!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The last amazing thing I have done is, coming back from 13 months India, I have sold 75% of all the things I owned. During that travel I lost physically about 1/3 of my weight and next I also sold all of my balast from 35 years living. A complete cleansing, a new start. OK, it wasn't all that easy at first, now looking back, I feel so much lighter and more flexible... Amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am currently into the fablab concept of prof Neil Gershenfield of MIT Centre of Bits and Atoms. A great set of tools to enable artists, children, and creatives to express themselves with new technology. Further I experienced myself a lot on synchronicity and I would recommend the book Synchro Destiny from Deepak Chopra. Further I have traveled extensively and I kept a website with valuable experiences and tips at www.connectingminds.nl, click on the elephant Ganesha.
